According to Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy, the aforesaid plan was approved by lawmakers after discussing its details at a session on Monday.

The bill, if approved, would require the Iranian government to suspend cooperation with the IAEA until Tehran is provided with real guarantees of the agency’s professional conduct.
