(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "Majlis will debate the various aspects of this move (reviewing cooperation with the IAEA) next week," Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Monday.
In its latest report, published on November 8, the International Atomic Energy Agency accused Iran of conducting activities related to developing nuclear weapons before 2003, adding that these activities “may still be ongoing.”
This is while IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano's visit to Washington for talks with US officials before the publication of the report raised serious questions about its objectivity and sincerity.
Iran rejected the report as “unbalanced, unprofessional and prepared with political motivation and under political pressure mostly by the United States.”
Boroujerdi said that Amano had failed to act within the framework of his responsibilities and worked as a US agent which is unacceptable.
The United States, Israel, and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program and have used this pretext to push for the imposition of sanctions on Iran and to call for an attack on the country.
Iran argues that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
The IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence indicating that Iran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production.
