Majid Asgaripour\/WANA (West Asia News Agency) via REUTERS\/File Photo<\/figcaption><p>Tehran this week scaled back cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, ending extra inspection measures introduced by its 2015 nuclear accord with major powers. It was the latest of many steps retaliating for U.S. sanctions reimposed after the United States pulled out of that agreement in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Iran and U.S. President Joe Biden\u2019s administration are now locked in a standoff over who should move first to save the unravelling 2015 deal. Tehran says Washington should lift sanctions first. Biden wants Iran to undo its many retaliatory breaches of the deal\u2019s nuclear restrictions first.<\/p>\n<p>In its own paper sent to other IAEA member states ahead of next week\u2019s quarterly meeting of the U.N. watchdog\u2019s 35-nation Board of Governors, the United States said it wants a resolution to \u201cexpress the Board\u2019s deepening concern with respect to Iran\u2019s cooperation with the IAEA\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. paper obtained by Reuters said the board should call on Iran to reverse its breaches of the deal and cooperate with the IAEA to explain how uranium particles were found at old, undeclared sites &#8211; finds first reported by Reuters and confirmed in an IAEA report this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran perceives this move as destructive and considers it as an end to the Joint Understanding of 21 February 2021 between the Agency and the Islamic Republic of Iran,\u201d Iran said in its own paper sent to other countries and obtained by Reuters, referring to its weekend deal with IAEA chief Rafael Grossi.<\/p>\n<p>That, in turn, \u201cmay lead to further complications in relation with the JCPOA\u201d, it said, referring to the 2015 deal by its full name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, adding that France, Britain, Germany and the United States had \u201crevealed their plans\u201d for a board resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Diplomats said it was still unclear whether the board would adopt a resolution. In June, after the IAEA said Iran had denied it access for snap inspections at two sites where it later found uranium particles, the board passed a resolution calling on Iran to relent. Russia and China opposed it.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has not listed the measures it stopped implementing this week but they include the so-called Additional Protocol enabling the IAEA to carry out snap inspections at undeclared locations.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend deal keeps the recording of extra data as specified by the 2015 deal for up to three months, with the IAEA potentially accessing it at the end.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-iran-nuclear-iaea\/iran-threatens-to-end-deal-with-iaea-over-u-s-led-push-to-criticize-it-idUSKBN2AQ1B6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIENNA (Reuters) &#8211;
