TABNAK, Nov, 27 : Araqchi’s remarks came in a meeting with his Spanish counterpart José Manuel Albares Bueno on the sidelines of a meeting of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) in the city of Cascais in southwestern Portugal.
According to the Iranian foreign minister, Iran’s move comes in response to the Western-back resolution the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Board of Governors’s resolution passed on Friday.
He called Germany, UK and France’s policy towards the Islamic Republic “confrontational and meddlesome,” as describing the approach unjustifiable and unconstructive.
The United States and its European allies have been taking numerous similar measures against Iran in line with their accusation against the Islamic Republic of insufficient cooperation with the IAEA, although Tehran's cooperation with the body has increased in frequency and quality over the past years.
Resorting to legitimate reprisal, Iran has already activated a number of its advanced centrifuges in reaction to the recently adopted resolution.
The Islamic Republic has, however, repeatedly announced that it was prepared to retrace its retaliatory steps in response to positive attitude and measures on the part of the agency and the Western countries.
