No Access to Iran’s Nuclear Sites for Foreign Entities, MP Reiterates
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Under no circumstances will Iran allow any international organization to have physical access to its nuclear facilities, a senior lawmaker said.
Speaking to Tasnim on Monday, the chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission denied rumors about the resumption of inspection of Iran’s nuclear sites by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Ebrahim Azizi explained that an IAEA delegation that is scheduled to visit Iran next week will solely have permission to hold expert and technical talks with Iranian officials.
According to a parliamentary law, under no circumstances will Iran allow physical access to its nuclear facilities, he added.
No inspector from the IAEA delegation or any other foreign organization will be permitted to visit the nuclear facilities of Iran, the lawmaker stated.
Azizi noted that Iran’s interaction with foreigner entities will be confined to technical cooperation with the purpose of exchanging expert views and resolving ambiguities.
Spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Esmaeil Baqaei on Monday unveiled plans for a visit to Iran by a technical delegation of the IAEA, saying the UN nuclear agency’s representatives are expected to travel to Tehran within the next 10 days.
