TEHRAN. Iran Iran announced Sunday that it was partially suspending cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, citing the "illegal and bullying" U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed on the country for its refusal to stop enriching uranium.
"If this political will exist, the other side wouldn't have imposed preconditions on the talks," Mottaki said, referring to demands by the U.S. and its allies that Iran first halt enrichment before they engage in negotiations on its nuclear program.
He said the world has two options to proceed on the nuclear issue: continued negotiations or confrontation.
"Choosing the path of confrontation will have its own consequences," he said without elaborating.
Ellham said the Iranian Cabinet decided Sunday to suspend "code 1-3 of minor arrangements of the safeguards" with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Under Iran's Safeguards Agreements with the IAEA, part of its commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, the country is obligated to inform the agency six months before it introduces nuclear material of any kind into any facility.
— the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China — and Germany. But he accused those countries of lacking the political will to reach a breakthrough.
