Reza Najafi, Iran’s permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has rejected US claims about Iran’s efforts to build nuclear weapons which was used as a pretext for attacking the country, calling on the agency to strongly condemn the illegal attacks on Iranian nuclear sites.

Addressing an extraordinary meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors on Monday, Najafi said that these claims reflect the widespread use of deceit in US foreign policy.

Najafi added that the attacks which targeted the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and hundreds of innocent Iranian citizens, including children, violated the IAEA resolutions as well as the decisions taken by its Board of Governors which prevent any kind of armed attack and threat against nuclear facilities used for peaceful purposes.

He said the attacks are also against the UN Charter and international law.
