The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization pointed out that “the injection of gas into centrifuges occurred in response to new US sanctions,” adding that “our measures are in line with the comprehensive safeguards agreement, and we will take any step that guarantees our interests.” “

He pointed out that “the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, should avoid political statements influenced by Israel,” stressing that “we will abandon our steps if all parties return to the nuclear agreement and comply with their obligations.”

On August 1, Iranian Atomic Energy Agency spokesman Behruz Kamalvandi said in an interview with Iranian television that hundreds of new centrifuges had been put into operation, noting that “the centrifuges are advanced first and sixth generations, and the IAEA has been informed of this.”

And the US Department of the Treasury, in a statement, confirmed the inclusion of 6 organizations on the Iran sanctions list, announcing the imposition of sanctions on organizations in the UAE, Singapore and China associated with Iran: “We will continue to apply sanctions against Iran until it is ready to return to nuclear deal.”
