Iran on Tuesday spurned a request by the IAEA for access to a military base where Tehran allegedly conducted nuclear weapons research, saying the issue should be addressed in a wider agreement with the UN atomic agency.
“Our cooperation with the (International Atomic Energy Agency) will continue in its already established framework of cooperation,” foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told a press conference when asked about Parchin military base near Tehran.
IAEA chief Yukiya Amano on Monday asked Iran to provide access to Parchin “without further delay, whether or not agreement has been reached on the structured approach”.
Mehmanparast said Tehran was seeking to reach “a comprehensive agreement … which clearly recognises our rights and also addresses their concerns.”
