"Our [Iranian] nuclear facilities have been subjected to a military attack. Currently, proximity to these facilities poses various dangers. The risk of radioactive material dispersion is serious... [and] the risk of the explosion of munitions left from the war [with Israel]," the minister said at a meeting with diplomatic representatives of several countries at Iran's Foreign Ministry.
It is necessary to address the issue related to national security regarding whether IAEA inspectors can approach Iranian nuclear facilities, as well as the issue of their own safety, the minister added. Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA "will assume a new form," he said.
In late June, the Guardian Council of Iran had approved a bill suspending cooperation between Iran and the IAEA.
