Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said at a press conference on Sunday that his country would not relinquish its rights or sovereignty, noting that Tehran had increasingly come to question calls for diplomacy.

Baqaei said any attack would be met with a decisive response, adding: “We will not abandon the defence of Iran, nor will we fall short in this regard.” He noted that “Iran has made extensive use of diplomatic channels. It will not fear war, nor will it rely on anyone else. It is pursuing the path of securing the supreme interests of its people.”

Baqaei accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of taking a biased direction in favour of America and the Zionist entity, stressing that “the drafting of the IAEA’s reports takes place according to the wishes of the West, and this is deliberate.”

He pointed out that the Agency’s resolutions had not received unanimous approval at the Security Council and the United Nations. He affirmed that Iran remained committed to the Agency’s provisions and documents, as well as its absolute right to a peaceful nuclear programme, despite US media pressure.

The Foreign Ministry spokesperson said the IAEA was obliged to acknowledge and recognise that attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities constituted an unlawful act and a violation of international law. He added that the Agency had stated in its reports that the US aggression had created unprecedented circumstances, making it more difficult for inspectors to visit Iranian facilities.
