Iran’s parliament votes on draft resolution to suspend cooperation with IAEA

TEHRAN, June 25 (YPA) – Iran’s parliament voted on Wednesday on a draft resolution to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

in its public session, the parliament approved the bill in all its details. 221 out of 223 members of parliament present in favor, no dissenting votes, and one member abstaining, according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency.

Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, explained the committee’s review process for the bill, saying that it was discussed on Tuesday and approved after amendments were made.

For his part, Mahmoud Nabavian, deputy chairman of the National Security Committee, explained that this bill did not include the Islamic Republic of Iran’s withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

“We are committed to the treaty, and we have declared to the world that all our nuclear activities are peaceful. Therefore, the bill focuses on the issue of cooperation with the agency, meaning prohibiting the installation of any surveillance cameras inside the country, whether under the basic or supplementary agreements,” Nabavian said.
