Iranian Lawmakers to Review New Agreement with IAEA

A senior Iranian lawmaker has announced that the Parliament will examine the recently signed agreement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, stated that the agreement-signed in Cairo-will be reviewed during the commission’s meeting next week, The Caspian Post reports, citing Iranian media.

Rezaei said: "There are two conditions for the restoration of cooperation, first, ensuring the security of the centers and scientists, and second, recognizing the country's nuclear rights. The Parliament is very insistent on this issue, and failure to act in this regard has been criminalized."

The agreement does not specifically address access to nuclear facilities, and we insist that the Agency not monitor the damaged facilities.

The agreement was signed by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in Egypt earlier this week on Wednesday as mediated by Cairo.
