Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a weekly cabinet session on Wednesday, Eslami said Iran’s interaction with the IAEA will continue to conform with the law passed by the Iranian Parliament (also called Majlis).

He noted that the authority assessing such compliance is the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) which would judge on the basis of reports provided by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.

Eslami further lashed out at the UN nuclear agency for its refusal to condemn the US-Israeli military strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities and its failure to fulfill legal duties.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Eslami pointed to a memorandum of understanding inked between Iran and Russia for the construction of large-scale nuclear power plants, noting, “With special emphasis on the previous contracts, it is agreed that a number of eight large-scale power plants will be set up in Iran.

The second part of the contract is related to the small-scale power plants that would be constructed across the country, Eslami added.
