BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 23. There is no
instruction to inspect Iran's damaged nuclear facilities by the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).


This was announced by Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
Esmail Baghaei at a press conference in Tehran today.


"In general, there was no meeting with the IAEA Director General
Agency Rafael Grossi during the discussions between Iran and the
U.S. in Switzerland and within the framework of the discussions.
Moreover, there is no instruction to inspect Iran's nuclear
facilities damaged as a result of the U.S. and Israel's military
attack on Iran's nuclear facilities," he said.


Baghaei noted that Iran, as a member of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a party implementing the
safeguards agreements, continues the current process, which is also
completely clear.


The ministry official noted that Iran welcomes the voting
against the resolution of the IAEA's Board of Directors by Russia,
China and Niger. At the same time, the step of the countries that
declared their opposition to this resolution by abstaining is also
commendable.


"Of course, Iran is upset that some countries that witnessed the
attacks of the U.S. and Israel on Iran still voted in favor of the
resolution in question. It's clear how they reacted when Habuki had
a small explosion outside their nuclear facilities. Therefore, Iran
absolutely doesn't accept double standards," he added.


Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.


A peace memorandum was signed between Iran and the U.S. on June
18. The memorandum was signed by Iranian President Masoud
Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump. The memorandum came
into effect on June 19.


On June 21, the first round of talks between Iran and the U.S.
took place in Switzerland, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar.
