Iran's Foreign Minister has warned of a strong reaction to European accusations of nuclear non-compliance, describing potential action at the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors as a "major strategic mistake".

Abbas Araghchi said Iran was "once again accused of non-compliance" despite years of cooperation with the IAEA that resulted in a resolution shutting down claims of a "possible military dimension" to Iran's peaceful nuclear programme, in a statement posted on social media on June 5.

European countries have expressed concern about Iran's nuclear activities and cooperation with international inspectors in recent months, in opposition to efforts by the US Trump administration to reach a new nuclear deal with Tehran. 

The Foreign Minister said the E3 countries - Britain, France and Germany - were "opting for malign action against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors" instead of engaging in good faith.

Araghchi drew parallels with 2005, saying when the E3 engaged in similar conduct "the outcome in many ways was the true birth of uranium enrichment in Iran".

"Has the E3 truly learned nothing in the past two decades?" he asked.

The Foreign Minister said falsely accusing Iran of violating safeguards based on "shoddy and politicised reporting" was clearly designed to produce a crisis.

He warned that Iran would "react strongly against any violation of its rights" and blamed "irresponsible actors who stop at nothing to gain relevance".

The statement comes amid ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear programme and potential action by European countries at the IAEA governing body.

Iran has previously responded to international pressure by scaling back compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal and increasing uranium enrichment activities.

The IAEA Board of Governors meeting typically addresses compliance issues and can pass resolutions calling for increased monitoring or sanctions.
