WANA (Jun 25) – The spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission announced the approval of the details of a bill requiring the government to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

 

Ebrahim Rezaei, the commission’s spokesperson, stated that members emphasized the necessity of passing the bill to oblige the government to halt collaboration with the IAEA. He added that a formal complaint should also be filed against the IAEA Director General for what he described as false reports and alleged espionage activities by some agency personnel at Iranian nuclear facilities.

 

“In today’s session, the details of the bill mandating the government to suspend cooperation with the IAEA were approved,” Rezaei said. “According to the ratified text, due to hostile attacks against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the Zionist regime and the United States targeting Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities — and given the endangerment of Iran’s national interests as outlined in Article 10 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and based on Article 60 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties — the government is obligated to suspend all cooperation with the IAEA under the NPT and its related safeguards until certain conditions are met.”

 

Rezaei further explained that the bill specifies these conditions: full assurance of Iran’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with the UN Charter, as determined by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council; confirmation that Iran’s inherent rights under Article 4 of the NPT — particularly the right to uranium enrichment — have been respected; and assurance that the “snapback” mechanism outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 2231 has not been triggered.

 

The bill will now be submitted for debate and voting in an open session of the Iranian Parliament.
