Tehran, Karafarinane Eghtesad – Michaela Pacher, the chargé d’affaires of the Austrian Embassy in Tehran, has been summoned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs due to Vienna’s unfounded claims regarding Iran’s peaceful nuclear program in its annual assessment of Austria’s intelligence agency.

Pacher was summoned on Friday in the absence of the Austrian ambassador. During in the meeting, Iranian officials rejected the claim, saying such allegations are in complete contradiction with the findings and reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

She was also informed that Iran’s activities fully comply with its international legal obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
