Press TV- A senior Iranian lawmaker says any move by US President Donald Trump to leak confidential documents on the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries would be harmful to the UN nuclear agency and not Iran.
If Trump wants to publish confidential documents between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it willin fact constitute a violation of the agencys obligations, because the agency has been committed not to make Irans confidential nuclear information and documents available to any country, including the US, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Sunday.
He added that such a move by the US would pose challenges tothe IAEA as an international body.
During the US election campaign, reports circulated indicating that Trump would reveal certain documents on Iran's nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), allegedly kept hidden by Obama administration.
An article carried by the Daily Beastwebsite late last December quoted an individual who has participated in those conversations as saying that senior officials who will be part of the Trump administration are already discussing what so-far-unseen information about the Iran agreement they will be able to make public after January.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Boroujerdi said the IAEA hadpromised to allow no information leakabout the JCPOA, but Iran welcomes the release of any confidential document, because it will reaffirm the Islamic Republics rightfulness and commitment.
Notwithstanding, in case of a move by the US to leak any documents, the IAEA must be accountable to Iran over lack of commitment to its obligations, the legislator pointed out.
I do not think that the agency would wantto cross the redlines set and endorsedby itsmember countries, he said.

A view of the IAEA building in Vienna, Austria[/caption]Last December, Iran and the P5+1 group of countries released some previously restricted documents about the JCPOA to support the argument that Tehran is not exceeding the limits imposed on its stockpile of enriched uranium.
The IAEA circulated the clarificationslaid out in eight documentsto its member states after receiving a letter from the European Union's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, who authorized the publication.
The UN nuclear agency is monitoring the JCPOA which was signed between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China plus Germany on July 14, 2015.
Under the JCPOA, which was implemented on January 16, 2016, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.
