No more cooperation with IAEA, Tehran says

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday signed into law a bill passed by parliament last month to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The move came amid accusations that the United Nations nuclear watchdog provided a justification for Israeli airstrikes on Iran — which began just a day after the agency adopted a resolution critical of Tehran — and failed to condemn the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites by Israel and the United States.

"The government is mandated to immediately suspend all cooperation with the IAEA under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and its related Safeguards Agreement," state TV quoted the law as saying. "This suspension will remain in effect until certain conditions are met, including the guaranteed security of nuclear facilities and scientists."
