Iran's Khamenei urges cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog

Iran's supreme leader on Sunday urged the continued cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, while warning against succumbing to "bullying" based on "unfounded claims". The supreme leader said agreements could be reached in certain fields, but stressed that "the existing infrastructure of the nuclear industry should not be touched".

Iran's nuclear programme has long been the subject of scrutiny from Western powers, resulting in sanctions that have crippled the country's economy.
