Gharibabadi questions IAEA impartiality

 Iran’s ambassador to the Vienna-based international organizations Kazem Gharibabadi criticized the IAEA for its partiality.

In an address to a Thursday meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors in Vienna, he urged the international body to refrain from pursuing any political agenda and stop biased treatment of member states.

“The Agency should not act in a way that it would be directly or indirectly supporting the political agenda of certain parties against others. Undoubtedly, this method of biased treatment of member states not only harms the nonproliferation regime but also reduces trust in the Agency’s professional activities and lowers cooperation between the Agency and its member states,” he said in his remarks.
