Iran says it still cooperating with the IAEA

TEHRAN, Jan 23 (Reuters) Iran today said it was still cooperating with the UN nuclear watchdog, a day after announcing it was barring 38 inspectors from working in the country, which is accused by the West of seeking atomic bombs.

''We have no problem in connection with the (International Atomic Energy Agency) and we will continue our cooperation in the framework of our past cooperation. The IAEA's activities in Iran go on,'' government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham told a news conference.
