BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 14. Iran can hold
negotiations with the directors of the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) at various levels if necessary, said Iranian Foreign
Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, Trend reports.


He noted that Iran’s mission in Vienna currently maintains
direct contact with the IAEA, and interactions between Iran and the
IAEA continue.


Baqaei emphasized that Iran is a member of the IAEA, and
therefore there can be no problem with holding negotiations.


“As for the formation of a new method for cooperation between
Iran and the IAEA, discussions on this matter should be held. It is
worth noting that Iran’s current cooperation with the IAEA is
primarily based on a law adopted by the Iranian Parliament. This
law clearly defines the format and framework of Iran’s cooperation
with the IAEA,” he added.
