Tehran, IRNA -- Spokesperson for Guardian Council Hadi Tahan Nazif announced Thursday the approval of a plan requiring the government to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.) by the vetting body.
Tahan Nazif made the remarks in an exclusive interview with the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) on Thursday.
He said that the members of the Guardian Council reviewed the plan to require the government to suspend cooperation with the I.A.E.A. and found it not to be in contradition to the Islamic principles and the Constitution.
Tahan Nazif added that based on this resolution, considering the violation of national sovereignty and the attacks carried out against the territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the Israeli regime and the United States against the peaceful nuclear facilities of the country, as well as the jeopardization of the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the government is obliged to suspend any cooperation with the I.A.E.A. until the principles ensuring full respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran are met, especially regarding the security of nuclear scientists and ensuring the inherent rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran to benefit from all rights stipulated in Article 4 of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation Treaty, particularly concerning uranium enrichment.
The spokesperson of the Guardian Council emphasized that the determination of these matters will also be with the Supreme National Security Council (S.N.S.C.).
The plan requiring the government to suspend cooperation with the I.A.E.A. was approved by the parliament on Wednesday.
