The Iranian parliament is to discuss a bill on reducing cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Fars news agency reported Saturday. Parliament deputy Hami-Reza Fouladgar told Fars that the bill will be raised on Sunday in parliament with the aim of revising and reducing cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog following this week's UN resolution against the Islamic state, according to dpa. The UN Security Council on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly in favour of its fourth sanctions resolution against Iran. The Iranian parliament had several times warned that in case of a renewed UN resolution against Tehran, the deputies would approve a bill obliging the government to reduce cooperation with the IAEA. The parliament voted in 2005 to stop the implementation of the IAEA Additional Protocol - which would allow the IAEA to have snap and wider inspections of Iranian nuclear sites. It was not yet clear whether the parliament would also discuss Iran's withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty. -- SPA
