The Iranian parliament plans to pass a bill to temporarily suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) due to its “politicised stance”, said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Majlis (the unicameral parliament) of the Islamic Republic, reports Sputnik.
“We plan to adopt a bill in parliament that would suspend Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA until we receive objective guarantees of professional conduct from this international organisation,” he said during a speech to lawmakers.
“The world has clearly seen that the IAEA has not fulfilled a single one of its obligations and has turned into a political tool.”
A parliamentary bill to suspend Iran’s cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog is under consideration, said Parliament presidium member Ruhollah Motefakerzadeh on June 23, according to state news agency Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), reports Strait Times.
