Iran-Larijani-Nuclear

Secretary of Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani said here Thursday that according to the Safeguard Agreement, Iran is naturally entitled either to accept or reject some of the UN nuclear watchdog's inspectors.

Larijani made the remark, in a joint press conference with his Saudi counterpart, Bandar bin Sultan, at Mehrabad International Airport.

He underlined that Iran and every other country has the right to reject any of the IAEA inspectors.

The SNSC secretary called on the media not to be over-sensitive on the issue, adding that this is a natural matter based on international treaties.
