Larijani: Iran must review IAEA cooperation
Iran must review its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog due to the hostile nature of a report on the country’s atomic program, parliament speaker Ali Larijani warned on Sunday, according to AFP.
“The parliament deems necessary to review (Iran’s) cooperation with the agency, because it showed with its new approach that cooperation and non-cooperation makes no difference in its decision – which are unprofessional anyway,” he said in remarks made to lawmakers.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog released a report on Tuesday expressing serious concerns about “credible” evidence of Iran working towards the development of nuclear warheads to fit inside its medium-range missiles.
Iranian officials immediately characterized the report as “baseless” and hewing to intelligence provided by Israel and the United States.
