Tehran 06 July_Iran’s Parliament speaker says the country will stand against excessive demands put forth by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Board of Governors, and will not allow the agency to act as it wills on the Iranian soil without limitation.

Iran will stand up to IAEA’s excessive demands: Parliament speakerMohammad Baqer Qalibaf made the remarks while addressing an open session of Parliament on Sunday, during which Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif briefed the lawmakers on the latest developments regarding Iran’s nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and IAEA’s request for access to certain Iranian sites.

Last month, the IAEA’s Board of Governors adopted a resolution, drafted by Britain, France and Germany, calling on Iran to grant the IAEA access to two locations amid allegations of undeclared nuclear activities. Russia and China voted against the resolution, with Moscow describing it as counterproductive.

Tehran has rejected allegations of non-cooperation with the IAEA, arguing that the mentioned sites are totally irrelevant to its current nuclear program, and that the agency’s insistence on inspecting the two locations comes on the basis of fabricated information provided by Israel.
