Tehran: Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly has passed a bill urging the government to halt its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The decision was made during a parliamentary session on Wednesday, with the aim of ensuring the security of Iran's nuclear facilities.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf announced that the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran will cease its collaboration with the IAEA until there are assurances regarding the safety of the country's nuclear sites. Qalibaf emphasized that Iran will continue its nuclear activities, claiming that adversaries have been unsuccessful in stopping uranium enrichment and missile development.
The decision comes in the wake of recent airstrikes on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities by the United States, following previous attacks attributed to Israeli forces. Qalibaf criticized the IAEA for its lack of condemnation of these attacks on Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
