Iran has accused the United States of double standards following a nuclear deal with India.

Western powers gave Iran two weeks from July 19 to respond to their offer to hold off on imposing more UN sanctions on Iran if Tehran would freeze any expansion of its nuclear work.
That would suggest a deadline of Saturday, although Russia, one of the six powers facing Iran, has opposed a deadline and Iran dismissed the idea of having two weeks to reply.
“We have not had any discussion (or) agreement of the so-called timeline of two weeks,” Iran’s representative to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Ali Asghar Soltanieh, told the state Press TV satellite station.
In Vienna, Soltanieh criticized the U.S. policy after governors of the IAEA, the UN nuclear watchdog, on Friday approved an inspections plan for India, an important step towards completing a nuclear trade accord between New Delhi and Washington.
---------Double nuclear standards
Unlike India, Iran is a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Soltanieh accused the United States of a discriminatory move and of violating the “spirit and letter” of the NPT, while he said Iran faced restrictions and was being “deprived from access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.”
Press TV said in a headline: “Iran condemns U.S. double nuclear standards.”
The inspection plan will permit regular IAEA surveillance of India’s declared civilian nuclear energy plants.
The decision clears a hurdle to an accord that would allow exports of nuclear fuel and technology for civilian use to India after a 34-year ban imposed because India tested atomic bombs and has not signed the NPT.
The United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany in June offered Iran economic and other incentives to coax it into halting uranium enrichment, which can have both civilian and military uses.
Tehran says its nuclear program is solely aimed at providing fuel for power plants.
Iran, whose refusal to halt the work has drawn three rounds of UN sanctions since 2006, has rejected suspension in the past and has given no indication that it is ready for a freeze.
