Iran to think over nuclear cooperation in case of other sanctions

The President of Iran's Parliament Ali Larijani warned this Sunday that his country would think over cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) in case UN sanctions are imposed again.

Larijani thus reacted to E3's statements (Germany, France and the United Kingdom) regarding the decision to activate the Dispute Resolution Mechanism of the nuclear deal that could restore measures against Iran.

If the bloc adopts unfair decisions concerning the activation of the Dispute Resolution Mechanism in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Teheran will review its commitments to the atomic agency, he said.

Berlin, Paris and London alleged that they resorted to that mechanism in response to the cuts in obligations of the Islamic Republic with the nuclear deal signed in 2015 with six world powers.

Europeans' measure is not a reaction to what Iran has done, but for fear of the US, Larijani added.

Larijani warned that if Europe maintains such unfair position and uses Article 37 of the nuclear deal, Teheran's decision will result in reviewing cooperation with the IAEA through a plan that Parliament enlists.

The nuclear deal is under increasing pressure since President Donald Trump ordered the US to withdraw in May 2018 and imposed once again coercive measures against Iran.
