Tehran is refusing to cooperate with a UN investigation team on its alleged storage of nuclear equipment and radioactive material in Tehran, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Iran has reportedly been asked by the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to answer several important questions over allegations about a now-dismantled nuclear site in Tehran.

Iranian officials, according to the report, have refused to answer to the questions. This is apparently the first time Islamic Republic officials directly show their luck of interest in cooperating with the UN IAEA since the 2015 nuclear deal.

The spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry has warned on Monday that his country will take “stronger step” in reducing nuclear deal commitments if the European parties don’t act properly to save the 2015 deal, known as JCPOA.

“The third step, which is more uncompromising than the first and second ones, has been planned and ready to be executed, in order to maintain the balance between Iran's rights and commitments to the JCPOA,” Abbas Mousavi noted.
