S&P 500 rises as health care, tech gain to overshadow Fed independence concerns
Investing.com -- Russia has called for Iran to continue its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following the Iranian parliament’s approval of a bill to suspend such cooperation.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the statement on Thursday, noting that the Iranian parliament’s decision was advisory in nature as it does not have executive power.
"We are interested in Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA continuing," Lavrov said during a press conference.
The Iranian parliament approved the bill on Wednesday after Israel and the United States conducted bombing operations against Iran’s nuclear sites. These strikes were carried out with the stated aim of preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Lavrov also emphasized Russia’s interest in seeing respect for Iran’s Supreme Leader, "who has repeatedly stated that Iran does not and will not have plans to create nuclear weapons."
