Iran will limit its cooperation with the global Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) due to what it calls "silence" agencies on Israeli attacks, said Iranian Deputy abroad Minister Kazem Gharibabadi.
Israeli aircraft bombed atomic and military facilities in Iran on Friday morning, as West Jerusalem described as an operation to prevent Iran from acquiring atomic weapons.Iran, who denies having a military atomic program, responded with its own attacks in Israel.Tehran besides suspended atomic negotiations with the United States, and the next circular was originally scheduled for Sunday."We decided that from now on we would no longer inform the Agency in advance of the details of our atomic activities.
This is part of a review of the level of our cooperation, which will no longer be the same as before” said Gharibabadi on Saturday at SNN."We have always maintained the most transparent, peaceful atomic programme, but erstwhile the Agency and its Board of Governors stay silent in the face of Israeli aggression or resolution on issues under political pressure, we can no longer keep the same level of cooperation" – he added.Without straight blaming Israel, the global Atomic Energy Agency issued a message on Friday in which it stressed that attacks on civilian atomic facilities were illegal under global law and called for dialogue.The global Supervisory Authority has previously reported uncovering traces of uranium in sites that Iran did not declare as atomic facilities and formally accused Iran of violating its non-proliferation obligations on Thursday.Tehran dismissed the charges as politically motivated.
