Iran's Guardian Council has ratified a bill to halt the country's cooperation with the IAEA, citing the need to protect national sovereignty after recent attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran's nuclear facilities. This legislation, approved by the Iranian parliament, allows Iran to pursue its entitlements under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, particularly in uranium enrichment. Government officials argue that continued collaboration with the IAEA is untenable until the safety of the nuclear sites is guaranteed. The IAEA has not yet received official confirmation of this suspension from Iran.
Guardian Council spokesperson Hadi Tahan Nazif stated that the Iranian government must suspend cooperation with the IAEA to honor national sovereignty after attacks on its nuclear facilities.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf asserted that the legislation to cease cooperation with the IAEA is binding, emphasizing that security of nuclear facilities must be ensured.
