JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran intends to revive the same as the UN nuclear watchdog despite restrictions imposed by its parliament.
But Araghchi stressed access to its bombed nuclear site poses safety and security concerns.
The new law stipulates any future inspection of Iran's nuclear site by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) requires approval from the Highest National Security Council, Iran's highest security agency.
"The risk of spreading radioactive material and the risk of exploding remaining ammunition is very serious," Araghchi was quoted as saying by state media as reported by Reuters on Saturday, July 12.
"For us, the IAEA supervisors who approach the nuclear location have safety and security aspects. The supervisors themselves are things that must be examined," he continued.
Although Iran's cooperation with the nuclear regulatory agency is not over yet, the cooperation will take on a new form and will be guided and managed through the Highest National Security Council.
