SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Iran is pushing off talks with the U.S. and European Union on a nuclear deal for the time being.
A spokesman from Iran s foreign ministry says conditions are not good right now.
Last week the Biden Administration carried out its first known military action, ordering airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria.
The White House has said it was ready to begin talks to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal.
The U.S. left that agreement under President Trump and imposed sanctions against Tehran.
The White House says it s still ready to have talks with Iran and will remove sanctions if Iran complies with the original deal first.
Story highlights
Under the protocol with Iran, the IAEA will collect and analyze hundreds of thousands of images captured daily by its sophisticated surveillance cameras.
UN nuclear watchdog international atomic energy agency(IAEA) has struck a deal with Iran ensuring its officials will continue to monitor Iran s nuclear sites for up to three months but the deal also limits access to IAEA, ending its right to make snap inspections.
Watch:
As part of its pressure campaign on the West, Tehran will go ahead with its plan to slash cooperation with the
IAEA from 23 February.
The key part of Iran s plan for reducing cooperation is ending the right to carry out snap inspections at sites not declared to the agency. The IAEA chief Rafael Grossi has confirmed that the additional protocol is going to be suspended and the steps Iran would take this week would be to a certain extent mitigated by terms of a new temporary agreement.
