The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has failed to fulfill its duties toward Iran and has withheld the country the technical assistance that it is bound by its statute to provide for member states.

Mohammad Eslami made the remarks in a Monday meeting with a senior cleric in the central city of Isfahan, saying, “We are faced with the Devil and arrogance in the world,” Fars news agency reported.
