BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 4. Iran has not made
any proposal to allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
inspectors to inspect the country’s nuclear facilities in exchange
for easing sanctions against Iran, Iranian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Esmail Baghaei said today at a press conference in
Tehran.
“Overall, Iran has not made any proposal in this form. Iran has
not put forward any issue in exchange for sanctions relief or
concessions on the nuclear issue. In general, the Iranian side has
not entered into the nuclear issue,” he said.
Baghaei said that Iran had conveyed its conditions to the other
side. These conditions were presented to mediators as part of a
plan called the “seven-day plan.” The Qatari side also conveyed
them to the United States.
In June last year, the United States and Israel carried out
airstrikes on a number of Iranian nuclear facilities. Since then,
Iran has restricted access to the country for IAEA inspectors.
Inspectors have only been allowed access during certain operations
at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. Iran has refused to allow
inspectors into the country, citing the lack of security at its
nuclear facilities and the fact that the IAEA has not condemned
attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
