Iranian President Signs Law Suspending Cooperation with IAEA

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has signed a law suspending cooperation between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This was reported by BELTA, citing the agency Tasnim.

It is noted that the law comes into effect immediately upon signing by the president. The document stipulates that staff of the agency will be banned from entering the territory of the Islamic Republic until the security of Iran’s nuclear facilities and nuclear scientists is assured.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf previously stated that the IAEA "has not fulfilled its obligations within the framework of concluded cooperation agreements."

On June 25, the draft law on suspending Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA was approved by the Iranian parliament deputies. The Guardian Council of Iran approved this draft law on June 26.
