Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have departed Iran after the nation decided to halt cooperation amid a conflict with Israel and the United States. The IAEA noted that its personnel remained in Iran during a fighting period, which began on June 13 due to Israeli attacks on Iranian military sites. The US later conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, claiming to impede Iran's nuclear progress. Iran has expressed growing distrust towards the IAEA and criticized it for its condemnation of Iranian actions and failure to denounce the US and Israeli strikes. Iranian officials have moved to suspend relations with the IAEA.
IAEA inspectors have left Iran after the government decided to suspend cooperation, following a 12-day conflict with Israel and the US that involved significant military actions.
The conflict began with Israeli strikes that killed senior Iranian commanders and civilians, leading to US involvement, including bombings of nuclear facilities which aimed to impair Iran's nuclear program.
Iran criticized the IAEA for its response to the Israeli and US strikes and accused the agency of unfairly targeting the country, deepening the existing distrust.
Following mutual tensions, Iranian officials ordered a suspension of ties with the IAEA, indicating a severe deterioration in monitoring and verification efforts regarding Iran's nuclear obligations.
