Amir Reza Vaez Ashtiani said in an interview with Mehr News Agency that Iran will not withdraw from its rights if it reaches an agreement with the West.
Withdrawing from the JCPOA was the biggest mistake of the Americans, he said, adding that although the Westerners had created restrictions for Iran's nuclear program under the 2015 nuclear deal, the country has achieved significant progress in the nuclear industry.
Westerners established the nuclear agency so that all countries in the world must have free and fair access to nuclear energy, he said.
"But in practice, we are witnessing that several European and Western countries seek to benefit from nuclear energy and deprive the rest of the countries of it," he said.
Referring to the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program, Ashtiani said that the IAEA chief Grossi recently announced that Iran continues its nuclear developments within the framework of the agency's rules.
He said that arrogant powers can not limit Iran's nuclear rights.
