Iran has scrapped a cooperation deal that it signed with the UN nuclear watchdog IAEA in September, its Supreme National Security Council Secretary said on Monday, according to state media.
The statement came around three weeks after Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, said Tehran would scrap the agreement, which let the IAEA resume inspections of its nuclear sites, if Western powers reinstated U.N. sanctions.
Those were reinstated last month.
The confirmation will be a setback for the International Atomic Energy Agency which has been trying to rebuild cooperation with Tehran since Israel and the United States bombed the nuclear sites in June.
"The agreement has been cancelled," Ali Larijani said while meeting with his Iraqi counterpart in Tehran, according to state media.
"Of course, if the agency has a proposal, we will review it in the secretariat," he added.

In a stunning display of moral agility rivaling that of a sloth on sedatives, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has finally -FINALLY- expressed his profound "shock" at violence in Iran. Mark your calendars, folks: it only took 10 days of corpses piling up in the streets.
Dozens of Iranians crossed the border into Turkey on Wednesday, as authorities in Iran crack down on one of the biggest ever waves of protest against the Islamic Republic's clerical rule.
