Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday accused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi of betraying "his duties," which led the Iranian lawmakers to decide to halt cooperation with the agency.

"This is a direct result of Rafael Grossi's regrettable role in obfuscating the fact that the Agency - a full decade ago - already closed all past issues.
