TEHRAN (Defapress) - Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf has announced that the Islamic Republic has commenced the activation of its advanced centrifuges in reaction to the anti-Tehran resolution passed by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) concerning the nation's peaceful nuclear program.

He remarked that the actions taken by the 3 European nations and the United States, which are driven by political motives and are harmful, have led to an unjust resolution regarding Iran's nuclear activities.

The speaker emphasized that these three European countries, along with the US, are exploiting Iran's peaceful nuclear endeavors as a pretext to further their illegitimate actions, thereby compromising the integrity and autonomy of the IAEA and hindering the constructive partnership between Iran and the agency.

He further stated that such political maneuvers necessitate that nations adopt essential measures to safeguard their national security.

Qalibaf expressed hope that the agency and supportive heads of state would oppose the anti-Iran resolution, thereby ending the hegemony of the US and the three European countries.

Shortly after the anti-Iran resolution, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and the Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a joint statement, slamming the resolution at the IAEA against the country’s peaceful nuclear program.

Additionally, Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and International Organizations in Vienna has indicated that the new resolution against the Islamic Republic disregarded the IAEA's engagements with Tehran.
