Iran suspends cooperation with IAEA, says progress in nuclear industry will continue

Tehran, July 2 (UNI) Iran today suspended its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
and asserted that progress in the country’s nuclear industry would always continue decisively.

The announcement was made by Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian here. The bill to suspend cooperation with the IAEA has already been approved by lawmakers.

Iran is also considering a ban on the entry of IAEA chief, Rafael Grossi, who has come under fire for "facilitating" US attacks against Iran.

Meanwhile, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami said it was impossible to destroy Iran’s nuclear industry with bombardment.
Speaking to reporters, he emphasized that Iran’s nuclear industry is not something that could be eliminated with bombs because it is a homegrown industry and technology embedded in the country.

"Progress in the nuclear industry of Iran will always continue decisively," he stated.

According to Iranian Parliament’s resolution IAEA inspectors will not be permitted to enter Iran unless the security of the country's nuclear facilities and that of peaceful nuclear activities is guaranteed, which is subject to the approval of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, against complicating the diplomatic path by supporting Israel’s aggression on Iran.

In a phone call with the Kaja Kallas, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, the Iranian Foreign Minister warned against what he called the “destructive approach” of several European countries.

Araghchi criticized some European countries and the IAEA DG for their statement during the recent meeting of Agency's Board of Governors and the subsequent resolution and their continued support for Israeli and US aggression against Iran and their failure to condemn the strikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities.
He warned that the continuation of such a destructive approach by several European countries would complicate the existing conditions and make the path of diplomacy more difficult.

Kallas also stressed the need to find a diplomatic solution to resolve the issue.
