"The deal fulfills this task. No sign of military dimension was found. The goal of opponents is opposite- to undermine confidence and cooperation between Tehran and #IAEA," he added.
In another tweet earlier on Monday, he wrote: "Opponents of #JCPOA call for a “renewed coalition of pressure on Tehran”. In their latest article in Newsweek they try to instruct #IAEA what it “must” and “ should” do."
"IAEA is independent. It’s Board of Governors and Secretariat will decide for themselves on how to proceed," he noted.
