Iran has warned the IAEA that cooperation will depend on the agency's abandonment of double standards in light of recent US and Israeli military actions against Iran. The tensions escalated after Israel's attacks on military and nuclear sites in June, leading to a retaliatory conflict. Iran's president emphasized that any new aggression would be met with stronger responses. Following these events, Iran signed a law halting IAEA cooperation, with all remaining inspectors expelled from the country, while the agency seeks to resume monitoring efforts in Tehran.
Iran's president has warned the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to abandon its double standards if it hopes to restore cooperation over the country's nuclear programme, amid an acute mistrust following Israel and the United States' attacks on Iranian nuclear sites last month.
Relations between Tehran and the IAEA have sharply deteriorated since mid-June, when Israel launched air attacks on Iran, hitting military and nuclear sites as well as numerous civilian areas.
Pezeshkian declared that any repeated aggression against Iran will be met with a more decisive and regrettable response.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi described talks with Iran as a top priority, but admitted that his agency had not had access to Iranian facilities since the attacks.
