The National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Parliament in a statement has responded to the recent statements of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, saying, "Regulate the Agency's behavior and your statements based on the Agency's rules and solely in the technical field, and avoid political statements."

"The Director General of the Agency has expressed concern that the reserves of uranium with an enrichment of 60 percent have reached 275 kilograms. However, it is not clear what the legal and technical reasons for his concern are?," it said.

The statement pointed out that according to Article 4 of the NPT, all member states have three inviolable rights: 1- Research and development 2- Production 3- Operation and use of the nuclear industry.

The statement emphasized that this right is only conditional on such activities being peaceful. "Accordingly, the Iranian nation has the right to use all peaceful nuclear capabilities"

The National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said that the United States gave "the Shah" a research reactor, which, firstly, is for peaceful medical purposes and for the production of radiopharmaceuticals, and secondly, its fuel was 93 percent, adding, "Accordingly, there is no legal prohibition on carrying out 60 percent enrichment and using it for peaceful medical and non-medical purposes."
