Alwaght- Iran remains committed to a 2015 deal it signed with major global powers, despite illegal sanctions re-imposed by United States, a report by the UN nuclear watchdog showed on Friday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a quarterly report on Friday that Iran remained within caps on the level to which it can enrich uranium and its stock of enriched uranium in accordance with the nuclear accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The UN nuclear agency's latest report showed that over the past three months, Iran's stock of heavy water had risen from 122.8 to 124.8 metric tonnes and that it held 163.8 kilograms of enriched uranium, up from 149.4 in November.
Both levels are within the limits laid down in the JCPOA.
The IAEA once again reiterated that the agency’s complementary access to Iran’s nuclear sites, which mainly consists of short-notice inspections under the Additional Protocol, continues at all locations that it needed to visit.
Iran's Ambassador and permanent representative to the IAEA Kazem Gharibabadi said the agency confirmed Tehran's fulfillment of its commitments in its 14th consecutive report since the implementation of the JCPOA.
He added that despite massive efforts by some ill-wishers and enemies of the Islamic Republic to distract attention of the IAEA and the international community from Iran's compliance with the JCPOA terms, Tehran and the agency continue to cooperate in a constructive way.
The Iranian ambassador urged the IAEA to observe the principles of impartiality and professionalism and strongly criticized certain sides for exerting pressure on the international body with political intentions.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has long maintained that it wants nuclear power only for civilian purposes.
