Countries attacking peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran are undermining the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) verification mechanisms, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"The drama of the situation is aggravated by the fact that countries attacking peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran are effectively undermining the NPT, the IAEA's verification mechanisms, nuclear and physical security conventions, as well as the agency's relevant regulations," Zakharova said in a statement on the ministry's website.
"Carefully crafted and internationally agreed solutions are not taken seriously by these states and can be discarded at any moment in favor of their selfish interests and geopolitical considerations," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added.
Russia hopes that the IAEA will convey to the aggressors the need to cease their atrocities in Iran, Zakharova said.
The attacks on the complex in Khondab, the factory in Ardakan, and the shelling near the Bushehr nuclear power plant deserve strong condemnation from the international community, Zakharova stated, commenting on the attacks on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities.
"The aggressors continue to raise the stakes in their war in the Middle East, ignoring all associated risks, including the danger of widespread radioactive contamination," Zakharova said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency must speak more clearly about the seriousness of threats due to attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, Maria Zakharova said.
"The leadership of the IAEA is obliged to speak more clearly about the seriousness of the threat that Iran's opponents are trying to ignore, or even deny," Zakharova said in a statement.
Russia hopes that the IAEA will convey to the aggressors the idea of the need to stop the atrocities in Iran, the spokeswoman added.
