West uses IAEA as tool: Iran's nuclear chief

TEHRAN, Dec. 12 (MNA) – Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami says that Western powers use the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) as a tool.

Regarding the IAEA chief's claims and the IAEA inspectors, Eslami on Tuesday said, "We act according to safeguards, when they introduce an inspector, we have the right to accept or reject."

Iran does not have any activities beyond safeguards and the NPT framework, he said.

But when the (JCPOA) parties did not fulfill their commitments, pressure on Iran is not acceptable, he added.

Our relations are based on safeguards and NPT and we only cooperate in this framework, he stressed.

Regarding the sale of Iran's heavy water, Eslami said the country has requests from various countries in this regard.

Our strategy is to process heavy water and use its derivatives, he stated.
