Iran's refusal to extend the "technical agreement" with UN nuclear watchdog has put the ongoing efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal at a greater risk, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.
After Iran's representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Kazem Gharibabadi, said Tehran was "not obliged" to extend the arrangement, Parliament Speaker Baqer Ghalibaf said on Sunday that the Islamic Republic will not give tapes recorded at its nuclear facilities in the past three months to the UN nuclear agency.
He also denied that the 3-month deal signed between Iran and IAEA in February had been extended in May, saying the law introduced by the country's parliament has been implemented, which called for suspension of cooperation with the IAEA beyond safeguards agreement.
"The agreement has expired," Ghalibaf told parliament during an open session. "Any information recorded will never be given to the International Atomic Energy Agency and the data and images will remain in possession of Iran."
