IAEA inspections now count as ‘espionage,’ Iranian ex-MP says
Allowing IAEA inspectors into Iran now amounts to espionage, Iranian former lawmaker Ali Motahari said Thursday, following the official enactment of a law mandating suspension of cooperation with the nuclear watchdog.
“The entry of inspectors into Iran under current conditions is nothing but an act of spying,” said Motahari, a supporter of the law.
His remarks came as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged continued Iranian cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
