The Iranian parliament has voted in favour of a recommendation to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN’s nuclear oversight body.

Mehr news agency reported that 221 lawmakers supported the proposal, while no one voted against it and there was one abstention.

The proposed legislation would bar IAEA inspectors from accessing Iranian facilities unless their security can be guaranteed.

However, the final decision rests with Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which will determine whether to implement the parliament’s recommendation.

In addition, lawmakers have begun considering a separate bill aimed at tightening restrictions on drone usage.

At least 34 people, including two babies were killed when a contraband fuel depot exploded into flames in southern Benin near the border with Nigeria on Saturday.

According to Beninese Interior Minister Alassane Seidou, “a serious fire occurred in the town of Seme Podji. Another 20 people were seriously wounded in the incident.”

"I can't really give you the cause of the fire, but there is a large gasoline warehouse here and cars, tricycles and motorcycles come from morning to evening,” he added.

Nigeria is a main oil and gas producer where fuel smuggling is very common along its borders, particularly when the government maintains a subsidy to keep fuel prices low.

The majority of the victims were burnt and they could not be not be identified.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
