Iran's Parliament Votes to Suspend Cooperation with Nuclear Watchdog
Lawmakers move to halt IAEA inspections following attacks on nuclear facilities
Iran's parliament has overwhelmingly voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, following recent Israeli and U.S. attacks on its nuclear facilities.
The legislation, approved by 221 out of 223 lawmakers, mandates the cessation of IAEA inspections and the removal of surveillance equipment, though it stops short of a full withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iranian officials accuse the IAEA of bias, alleging that its recent resolution declaring Iran in breach of non-proliferation obligations provided a pretext for military strikes.
The move awaits endorsement by the Guardian Council and has raised international concerns about the future of nuclear inspections and regional stability.
