“Several of our nuclear facilities have been attacked and bombed and have suffered damage. It is natural that, for both reasons, both because of the changes in the field and because of the parliamentary law, a new era must begin in relations with the Agency,” Araqchi pointed out on Wednesday night in a televised program titled 'Tehran, Iran and World'.

He elaborated that this means that any cooperation with the Agency from now on must be done through the Supreme National Security Council and with its approval.

“Regarding our nuclear program, we must say that the Agency has not performed well, especially in the last few months when they prepared a report, before the war, which led to a resolution in the Board of Governors,” the top diplomat added.
