The Core Group countries issued a joint statement condemning the resolution proposed by the UK, France, and Germany against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. They emphasized the need for interactive approach with Iran to resolve issues.
The statement recognized Iran’s commitment to non-proliferation as an NPT member and called for continued interaction with the IAEA. It welcomed discussions on NPT implementation and remaining issues.
The resolution, backed by the US, was approved by the IAEA Board of Governors but lacked mention of Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA. Despite claims, no evidence suggests Iran’s nuclear program is for military purposes.
IAEA inspectors regularly visit Iran’s nuclear facilities and Iran continues to cooperate within the Safeguards Agreement framework. Resolution demands for explanations on alleged issues not supported by authentic information.
