Tehran, IRNA – The latest anti-Iran resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors marks the same past mistake that the West is repeating again, Ali Sarwar Naqvi, a former Pakistani envoy to the IAEA said.

Naqvi spoke to IRNA in Islamabad on Thursday, a day after the Board of Governors adopted the resolution drafted by the US as well as the UK, France, and Germany, the three European parties to the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the JCPOA.

He said that the measure has definitely been provoked by Israel and will have no result but make it difficult to revive the JCPOA.

The nuclear deal ran into trouble after the US unilaterally withdrew from it in 2018, making the remaining parties begin talks in Vienna in April 2021 to revive the accord.

Naqvi criticized the European members of the JCPOA for their obstructionism and lack of a proper response to the US pullout.

It seems that instead of making up for their mistakes and unlawful measures, the US and the E3 are trying to create obstacles in the Vienna negotiations and revival of the JCPOA, he added.

   

Naqvi, who is also the Executive Director of the Center for International Strategic Studies (CISS) in Islamabad, said that the Israeli regime is certainly behind the latest anti-Iran move.

He called on the IAEA director-general and Board of Governors members not to be trapped by political measures, especially provocations directed by the Tel Aviv regime.
