Iran refutes Vance's claims about IAEA access to Iran

According to CNN, Iran said on Monday that it will continue to cooperate with the United Nations nuclear watchdog "in accordance with existing procedures." This comes after Iran refuted claims by senior U.S. officials that Tehran had agreed to allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors back into the country.

Iran's official IRNA news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei as saying that Iran's interaction with the IAEA will proceed "in accordance with Iran's obligations under its Safeguards Agreement" and "consistent with the resolutions passed by parliament and the decisions of the Supreme National Security Council." Previously, U.S. Vice President Vance stated at a press conference in Switzerland that Iran had agreed to allow IAEA inspectors entry. (Jin Shi)
