Headline: Iran Halts Cooperation with IAEA Over Nuclear Facility Security
Key Points:
- Iran ties IAEA collaboration to nuclear site security.
- Future inspections by the UN watchdog will require Tehran’s consent.
- Foreign Minister Araghchi mentions evaluating damage from US airstrikes.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has officially approved a law suspending the nation’s collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to state media reports from Wednesday.
“President Pezeshkian has enacted the law that ceases cooperation with the IAEA,” state television confirmed, indicating that this law is now active following last month’s military conflict between Iran and Israel.
This legislative move succeeded a bill passed by the Iranian parliament aimed at halting interactions with the UN nuclear watchdog, prompted by airstrikes from Israel that were aimed at hindering Tehran’s potential nuclear weapon development.
The new law asserts that any forthcoming IAEA inspections must receive approval from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
Last week, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf remarked that Iran would expedite progress on its civilian nuclear initiatives.
Tehran has consistently denied intentions to pursue nuclear weapons and has stated that an IAEA resolution from June, which labeled Iran as non-compliant with its non-proliferation obligations, set the stage for Israel’s military actions.
Qalibaf criticized the IAEA for failing to condemn attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites, claiming it has “traded its international credibility.”
He emphasized, “Because of this, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran will stop its cooperation with the Agency until the security of our nuclear facilities is ensured, while simultaneously accelerating our peaceful nuclear pursuits.”
Damaged Nuclear Facilities
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated in an interview with CBS News that the US bombing of the critical Fordow nuclear facility has “severely and substantially damaged” the site.
“No one really knows the exact details of what occurred at Fordow. However, from what we have gathered so far, the damage to the facility is significant,” Araghchi noted during the broadcast on Tuesday.
“The Atomic Energy Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran is currently conducting an assessment, and a report will be submitted to the government once it is complete.”
According to a report by The Washington Post, intercepted Iranian communications suggested a minimized perception of the extent of damage inflicted by US strikes on Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Former President Donald Trump claimed that the strikes “completely and utterly obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program. However, US officials acknowledge that forming a full assessment of the damage will take time.
