TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iran announced Sunday that it was partially suspending cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, citing the new U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed on the country for its refusal to stop enriching uranium.
Gholam Hossein Elham, a government spokesman, said the Iranian Cabinet decided to suspend a provision that called on the government to inform the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency of any new steps and decisions made in its atomic program.
“This will continue until Iran’s nuclear case is referred back to the IAEA from the U.N Security Council,” Mr. Elham told state television.
