Aleaddin Borujerdi, the head of the parliament's National Security Commission, said the decision has been officially announced to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog, which carries out routine checks of Iran's nuclear facilities.

After the UN Security Council imposed sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program in December, parliament voted to "revise its cooperation" with the IAEA.
