Iran has enacted a law to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) due to security concerns following Israeli and US airstrikes on its nuclear facilities. This suspension will cease inspections and reporting under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. European powers, including Germany, have condemned this decision, urging continued dialogue and cooperation to maintain diplomatic relations. French President Macron has called for Russian involvement to persuade Iran to resume cooperation and warned that failure to secure a substantial deal could lead to the re-imposition of UN sanctions against Iran.
"Iran has decided to suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which will result in halting inspections, reporting, and oversight activities under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)."
"German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Giese stated that the decision sends a 'disastrous signal,' claiming that cooperation with the watchdog is essential for diplomacy to succeed."
