Kharrazi, who is now head of Foreign Relations Strategic Center, made the remark in an interview with reporters in reaction to recent anti-Iran claims of French Foreign Minister Robert Kouchner.

“We are committed to our duty; we have the duty within framework of the IAEA Safeguards to cooperate with the Agency on condition that they (westerners) do not make any abuses and do not pile up security and political pressures on us so as to make us stop our activities,” said Kharrazi.

He added, “We act on our commitments. We defend our rights and hope that the IAEA too would abide by its mission and duty.”
