Iran MP says IAEA inspectors barred until final deal restores Tehran’s demands

Iran will not change its current level of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency until negotiations reach a final stage and Tehran’s demands are met, a member of parliament’s National Security Committee said.

Mohseni Sani accused the IAEA director general of “hostile” conduct, saying his actions had helped advance anti-Iran resolutions at the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors.

He said that under Iran’s law requiring the government to suspend cooperation with the IAEA, the agency would not be allowed to enter the country to inspect the sites it wants to visit.

“Until negotiations reach the final stage and the violated rights of the Iranian people are fully restored, there will be no change in the current approach,” he said, adding that statements by IAEA officials would not affect decisions by senior officials in Tehran.
