Iran-Majlis-IAEA
Majlis speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel here Tuesday said that once Majlis finds out that continued cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog have no benefit for Iran, it will disapprove it under the present situation.
He made the remark while talking to domestic and foreign reporters at a press conference.
If Iran's nuclear dossier is reported to the United Nations Security Council and the negotiators involved in the matter use the language of threat instead of dialogue, Majlis will revise its approach to the issue.
"Any type of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) such as continuing NPT membership and cooperation within the framework of the Additional Protocol will depend on Majlis approval," he added.
Stating that such an approach is just an idea and suggestion, he said that Iran prefers the issue to be followed up through talks.
"Given that our call is rational, it is possible to get a result by holding talks," he added.
Turning to the possible prevention of talks on the country's nuclear issue by the US, he said that Iran and Europe still insist on holding talks on Iran's nuclear activities for peaceful purposes.
