Iranian parliament considers suspending cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog
A new bill aimed at halting Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is currently under review by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, also called the Iranian Parliament, according to state media reports on Monday. Ruhollah Motefakerzadeh, a member of the parliament's presidium, confirmed that lawmakers are discussing the proposal, which would effectively freeze collaboration with the UN nuclear watchdog amid growing frustration over what Iranian officials describe as politicized behavior by the agency. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf voiced strong support for the bill, stating, 'We in the parliament are seeking to pass a bill that would suspend Iran's cooperation with the IAEA until we have objective guarantees of the professional behaviour of this international organisation.' Qalibaf insisted that Tehran is not pursuing nuclear weapons and criticized the IAEA for failing to uphold its responsibilities. 'The world clearly saw that the Atomic Energy Agency has not fulfilled any of its obligations and has become a political tool,' he said.
