'Iran is now subject to the world’s most robust nuclear verification regime. It has committed itself to fully implementing its comprehensive safeguards agreement and is provisionally applying the Additional Protocol,' Amano said Tuesday in a statement at the Conference on the International Atomic Energy Agency at 60, in Washington.
'It also agreed to additional transparency measures under the JCPOA. Our inspectors have expanded access to locations, and have more information about Iran’s nuclear programme, which is smaller than it was before the agreement came into effect.'
'The IAEA was asked by the UN Security Council to verify and monitor that Iran is implementing its nuclear-related commitments under the JCPOA. The IAEA Board of Governors authorized us to do so. The IAEA is not a party to the agreement, but we played a key role in bringing it about.'
'When I spoke to you last year, the JCPOA had been in effect for just a few months. Now, almost two years since te Implementation Day, I can state that the nuclear-related commitments made by Iran under the JCPOA are being implemented.'
'A week ago, I visited Tehran and met President Rouhani, Vice President Salehi and Foreign Minister Zarif. I requested them to fully implement Iran’s nuclear-related commitments under the JCPOA. They reaffirmed their determination to do so.'
The Conference on the International Atomic Energy Agency at 60 was held on November 6-7 in Woodrow Wilson International Centre, Washington D.C.
