Iran says cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog will take ‘new form’

Iran said Saturday its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy
Agency “will take on a new form”, expressing a desire for a diplomatic
solution to resolve concerns over its nuclear programme.

Iran’s 12-day war
with Israel last month, sparked by an Israeli bombing campaign that hit
military and nuclear sites as well as residential areas, rattled its
already shaky relationship with the UN nuclear watchdog.

The attacks began
days before a planned meeting between Tehran and Washington aimed at
reviving nuclear negotiations, which have since stalled. Iran has blamed
the IAEA in part for the June attacks on its nuclear facilities, which
Israel says it launched to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon —
an ambition Tehran has repeatedly denied. Araghchi said requests to monitor
nuclear sites “will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis… taking into
account safety and security issues”, and be managed by Iran’s Supreme
National Security Council.
