Baghaei: Halting cooperation with the Agency is a response to attacks against Iran
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic confirmed on Wednesday the cessation of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, stating that the approval of the draft proposal to halt cooperation with the IAEA is a clear response to illegal attacks against our country.
Ismail Baghaei, stating that our nuclear facilities and scientists must be protected and secured, added that according to the parliament’s resolution, the agency’s inspectors are not allowed to enter the country for inspections unless the security of our nuclear facilities and peaceful nuclear activities is guaranteed.
He emphasized that the entry of the agency’s inspectors into Iran is subject to the approval of the Supreme National Security Council.
On Wednesday, June 24, the Islamic Consultative Assembly approved with 222 votes in favor, no votes against, and one abstention, the plan obliging the government to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
