“The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran will suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency until the security of nuclear facilities is guaranteed,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the parliament, said in a statement.
“Iran’s peaceful nuclear program will progress at a faster pace,” he added.
The bill to halt cooperation was passed by 222 votes, with no votes against and one abstention.
“We will not be deceived by any promises and will be more prepared than before to give a fierce response to any aggression,” Ghalibaf stressed.
Alireza Salimi, a member of the parliament's presidium, said: “According to the parliament's resolution, the agency's agents do not have the right to enter the country for inspections unless the security of the country's nuclear facilities and peaceful nuclear activities are guaranteed, and this is also subject to the approval of the Supreme National Security Council.”
