Iran speaker warns Europe over cooperation with UN atomic watchdog

Iran's parliament speaker warned Europeans that Tehran may reconsider its cooperation with the UN atomic watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

At the open session of the parliament, he said that if Europe "shows unfair behavior in using Chapter 37 of the nuclear agreement", Iran has a bill "ready at the parliament" about further cooperation with IAEA.

Britain, France and Germany have triggered a dispute mechanism to try and bring Iran back into compliance with the unravelling of the 2015 nuclear agreement.

The deal has been on the verge of collapse since US president Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement last year.

Iran has moved away from the deal in response, saying it now has no limits for nuclear enrichment.
