TEHRAN, June 26 (Xinhua) — Iran’s Guardian Council on Thursday approved a bill already ratified by parliament to suspend the country’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
A bill calling on the Iranian government to stop cooperating with the IAEA has been reviewed by the council and found to be in line with religious precepts, laws and the country’s constitution, council spokesman Hadi Tahan Nazif told state-run IRIB TV on Thursday.
“Given the violation of Iran’s state sovereignty by the United States and Israel, their encroachment on the country’s territorial integrity, as well as attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities and threats to national interests, the Iranian administration is obliged to suspend all cooperation with the IAEA until respect for the country’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity is fully guaranteed, and the safety of Iranian nuclear centers and scientists is ensured,” he said. –0–
