Iran will continue to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency but won't suspend its nuclear work, the country's ambassador to the U.N. agency said Friday, according to state-run PressTV.
"We fully cooperate with the Agency in accordance with comprehensive safeguard, which is the (Non-proliferation Treaty) safeguard. But we will not go beyond our legal obligations," Ali-Asghar Soltaniyeh told PressTV, after the IAEA released its latest report on Iran's nuclear work on Thursday.
He said the U.S. and its Western allies should change their 'boring and frustrating trend' on Tehran's nuclear work, saying they have found 'no evidence' of Iran's pursuit of forbidden weapons.
He also urged IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei to use his 'maximum authority and his prerogative' to prevent certain countries from imposing obligations beyond legal ones on Iran.
