The meeting will be held today in Iran’s parliament to consider an agreement signed by Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency at 5pm, Abbas Godalj said.
According to parliamentary law, cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency must be approved by the Supreme National Security Council.
Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Tuesday that they have reached a new agreement on a potential reopening of cooperation.
The agreement was signed during a three-hour meeting between Foreign Minister Abbas Aragci and Cairo Director Rafael Grossi. Iran and the IAEA had already held three negotiations in Vienna and Tehran in an attempt to find a real way.
The UN Director-General of Nuclear Energy described the new agreement as “an important step in the right direction,” but said its full content would not be published anytime soon.
Details of the Cairo Agreement are subject to further discussion, with both sides already offering seemingly contradictory interpretations of what the transaction entails.
The IAEA said the new agreement would provide access to inspectors at all Iranian nuclear facilities, including those bombed by Israel and the US during the June military attack on the Islamic Republic.
Grossi spoke to the IAEA Board on Wednesday, saying the contract would grant access to “all facilities and installations in Iran,” and “consider necessary reports on all attacked facilities, including nuclear materials present.”
