Iran`s Majlis committee to discuss reviewing Iran-IAEA cooperation

TEHRAN, Nov. 20 (MNA) – The Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee will discuss the issue of reviewing Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in a meeting on Tuesday. The relevant officials have been invited to attend the meeting. Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said on November 13 that the parliament deems it necessary to revise Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA. He made the remarks after IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano released a report on Iran’s nuclear program on November 8, in which he said that Iran appears to have worked on designing an atomic bomb. Larijani said, “The Majlis warns the IAEA that it regards such an approach as open hostility and (believes the agency) is following the orders of the Unites States and the Zionist regime, and deems it necessary to review the way Iran is cooperating with the agency, because the agency has shown that cooperation or non-cooperation will not affect its inept decisions.” So it is necessary for the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee to thoroughly examine the issue in cooperation with relevant organizations, he stated.
