In response to a question regarding the International Atomic Energy Agency's request to inspect the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities, Ismail Kothari, a member of the National Security Committee of the Majles, told the Jamran news website: "What do they do if they want to come to Iran and inspect our nuclear facilities? ".
This member of parliament said on Sunday, November 24: "The inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency should be asked if you are honest employees of the International Atomic Energy Agency or spies of Israel and the United States? ".
Kotri continued: "We will not allow the agency's inspectors to enter under any circumstances until we are sure that their behavior and speech have been corrected."
