IAEA “Maintaining Relations with Iran and Continuing Verification of Nuclear Development” Jan. 9, 9:00

In response to the Iranian government's announcement that the Iranian government would strengthen enrichment activities in order to oppose the United States over the Iranian nuclear agreement, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would maintain its relationship with Iran. He stressed that nuclear verification activities would continue.

Over the Iranian nuclear agreement, the Iranian government announced Tuesday that it would step up its enrichment activities to comply with economic sanctions imposed by the United States, without complying with restrictions set out in the agreement, including uranium enrichment.

However, it says that it will maintain its relationship with the IAEA as before and will comply with the agreement again if US sanctions are lifted and Iran's interests can be secured.

In response, the IAEA, which is testing Iran's nuclear program, issued a statement on Tuesday, saying, "The Iranian government has announced that it will maintain its relationship with the IAEA. IAEA inspectors have verified and monitored Iran's nuclear program. "We will continue our activities."

"We will report to Iran on further Iran's activities as appropriate."

It is said that Iran was considering stopping the IAEA inspection this time, and it seems that the IAEA wants to maintain cooperation with Iran to ensure verification and monitoring.
