German foreign minister urges Iran to maintain cooperation with IAEA

Iran should not suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Thursday, warning such a move would send “the completely wrong signal.”

Speaking at a press conference in Berlin alongside his Canadian counterpart Anita Anand, Wadephul said, “I urge the Iranian government not to take this path.”

His comments came after Iran’s parliament voted to suspend cooperation with the UN watchdog. Tehran has accused the agency of political bias and failing to uphold its obligations.
