Tehran suspends cooperation with IAEA

TEHRAN, Sept. 21 (YPA) – Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) said that due to  the “ill-considered” moves taken by European countries against Tehran, the cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be suspended, according to Tasnim News Agency.

“Today, the Supreme National Security Council convened a meeting chaired by the president, and discussed and exchanged views on the situation in the region and the adventurisms of the Zionist regime, and emphasized that the policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the current circumstances will be to cooperate as much as possible to establish peace and stability in the region,” the SNSC said in a  statement .

“Among other things, the ill-considered actions of three European countries (the UK, France and Germany) on the Iranian nuclear issue were discussed and reviewed. Despite the cooperation of the (Iranian) Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the IAEA and the presentation of plans to resolve the issue, the actions of the European countries will effectively suspend the path of cooperation with the agency,” the SNSC stated.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also given the mission to continue its consultations within the framework of the decisions of the Supreme National Security Council to protect the country’s national interests, the statement added.
