Moscow, 24 October: Iran could refuse the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] inspections if its nuclear problem is handed over to the United Nations Security Council, Iran's Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki has said.
"If the nuclear issue of our country is handed over for consideration to the UN Security Council, Iran might refuse to voluntarily comply with the additional protocol to the Non- Proliferation Treaty," Mottaki told reporters in Moscow.
The additional protocol envisages IAEA inspections.
