In response to President Trump’s defiance to certify Iran’s compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as Iran nuclear agreement, Iran might end its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi has warned that Tehran may reconsider its cooperation agreement with the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, should the US default on its commitments to the 2015 Iranian deal.
Iran seems to have toughened its stance towards the agreement after it successfully thwarted a nationwide protest against the government over economic stagnation, social reforms and political injustice. Iran’s supreme leader blamed foreign influence for the protest.
According to reports, the warning from Salehi came during his telephonic conversation with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) director general, Yukiya Amano Monday. Salehi reportedly said, “If the US does not meet its commitment in the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), the Islamic Republic of Iran would take decisions that might affect its current cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency”, according to state news agency.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson warned further, “All options are on the Islamic Republic's table for any conditions and they will be implemented the same day and quickly proportional to the type of decisions made in the US”.
The 2015 JCPOA deal between Iran and six world powers - China, France, Germany, Russia, the US, and the UK proposed the lifting of sanctions against Iran in exchange for Iran curbing its nuclear program.
