Radio Farda is known for its critical stance on the Iranian government.

The spokesperson for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization announced that Iran's representative at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will submit a 'protest note' to the agency in response to the 'leak' of the 'confidential' annex of the Vienna nuclear agreement and its publication by the Associated Press. According to the state news agency IRNA, Behrouz Kamalvandi stated on Sunday, July 25, that the IAEA's perception is that this document has 'leaked' from the agency. On Saturday, Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization, referred to the publication of the 'confidential' document of the Vienna nuclear agreement as a 'breach of promise.' Salehi also mentioned that with the release of this document, the Iranian people will be informed of the 'correct and appropriate predictions we have made for the development of our country's nuclear industry.' Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's Foreign Minister, described the alleged document published by the Associated Press as a source of 'pride' and emphasized that 'God willing, when this entire document is published, it will become clear where we will reach in 15 years.' The Associated Press reported on the evening of July 19 that it had obtained a document related to Iran's nuclear agreement, indicating that easing key restrictions on the nuclear program would reduce the time for Iran to reach a nuclear weapon. The AP claims that this document is a confidential annex of last year's nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers, and according to it, after 11 to 13 years, Iran could replace over five thousand 'ineffective centrifuges' with three thousand five hundred more advanced devices. However, Mark Toner, spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, in response to the AP report, stated that there is no secret document or agreement, telling the Persian section of Voice of America that 'preventing Iran from accessing nuclear weapons and our ability to monitor its nuclear program and ensure its peaceful nature will remain forever.'
