Iran Threatens to Terminate IAEA Deal If Hostile Actions Persist

Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a statement cautioning that the recent agreement between Tehran and the UN nuclear agency would be revoked if hostile actions are renewed against Iran and its nuclear facilities.

According to the statement, the arrangements signed between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi on the modalities of future interaction were reviewed and approved by the SNSC’s Nuclear Committee, The Caspian Post reports citing Iranian media.

The text of the arrangements, it noted, was examined by the Nuclear Committee of the SNSC, and the signed document corresponds entirely to what the committee had ratified.

The statement emphasized that the Nuclear Committee-comprising senior officials from relevant institutions-has always been authorized to make decisions on behalf of the SNSC, and in this case, too, it acted in line with its normal procedures.

Concerning Iran’s nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards that were attacked by the United States and the Zionist regime, the SNSC clarified:

First, Iran will submit its report to the IAEA only after obtaining the necessary security and safety conditions and following the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, it said.

Second, the operational methods for cooperation between Iran and the IAEA regarding the submitted report must be mutually agreed upon, and, consistent with internal procedures, any implementation requires SNSC confirmation, the statement added.

It underscored that in case of any hostile action against Iran and its nuclear facilities-including the revival of previously terminated UN Security Council resolutions-the implementation of the recent arrangements will be halted.
