Iran has warned that if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) does not confirm Tehran's cooperation with the organization, it may halt surprise inspections of the country's nuclear facilities. Mohammad Khatami, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, told reporters in Tehran on Thursday that the decision of the IAEA's board of governors in a meeting scheduled for next month will affect Iran's next steps. The board may conclude that Tehran is not complying with United Nations requests and decide to refer the matter to the Security Council for consideration of sanctions. Diplomats say Iran has not fully cooperated with the IAEA in recent weeks, and inspectors have not been allowed access to some military sites in the country.
