Speaking to IRNA, Amouie added the path of interaction between Iran and the IAEA is open, but measures like issuing a resolution destroy the cooperation with the organization.
He said that the JCPOA in 2015 was actually a balance between the commitments and each party must carry out their missions separately.
In paragraph 26 of the JCPOA it was emphasized that if the Islamic Republic of Iran assesses that the other party does not fulfill its obligations, it has the right to take compensatory measures, he added.
Iran’s action in reducing JCPOA obligations is implemented exactly according to paragraph 26 of the JCPOA, the issue related to the reduction of JCPOA obligations is included both in the JCPOA text and as an appendix in UN Security Council Resolution 2231.
He termed the reaction of the Western and European parties to Iran's compensatory measures as illogical, saying that Iran is witnessing that the Europeans are abusing political bodies, including the IAEA Board of Governors and are trying to increase political pressure on Iran.
Accordingly, such resolutions are an unnecessary and harmful action on cooperation between Iran and the IAEA, and will definitely face the reaction of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Amouie stated.
Iran is to take peaceful measures within the framework of the country's nuclear program, which will be reported by the inspectors to the IAEA, and within this framework, the Islamic Republic of Iran will respond to the resolution.
Stressing the fact that Iran-IAEA cooperation should be free of any pressure and accusations, he said that the Islamic Republic of Iran has already given a written response regarding the alleged locations and has reiterated that is ready to elaborate on the ambiguities.
