A day after Tehran passed a bill suspending cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated Thursday that Iran is still committed to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and its safeguards accord.
In an X post, Araqchi stated, “For clear safety and security reasons, our cooperation with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) will be channeled through Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.”
In a move deemed “unacceptable” by the United States, President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday implemented the legislation passed by parliament last week to halt cooperation with the IAEA.
When Germany’s Foreign Ministry urged Tehran to change its mind about suspending cooperation with the IAEA, Araqchi responded with a remark about X.
