Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian announced the suspension of Tehran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Earlier on June 25, Iran’s parliament (Majlis) approved a bill to suspend Tehran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over the UN atomic agency’s behavior regarding the US-Israeli aggression on the Islamic Republic earlier this month.
The general and specific provisions of the bill to suspend cooperation with the IAEA have been approved by lawmakers, said Alireza Salimi, a member of the parliament’s presiding board, on Wednesday.

According to the parliament’s resolution, IAEA inspectors will not be permitted to enter Iran unless the security of the country’s nuclear facilities and that of peaceful nuclear activities is guaranteed, which is subject to the approval of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
The vote came a few days after Iranian Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said the top legislative body was considering a bill to suspend Tehran’s cooperation with the UN agency.
“Majlis (the Iranian Parliament) is drafting a plan to suspend cooperation with the agency until tangible guarantees regarding the professional attitude of this international organization are received,” Qalibaf said during an open session of the parliament on Monday.

Iran is also considering an entry ban on the IAEA chief, Rafael Grossi, who has come under fire for facilitating the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Kowsari, a senior lawmaker, said last week that he has urged the Supreme National Security Council to impose an entry ban on Grossi.
Based on Grossi’s politically-motivated reports, the IAEA Board of Governors passed an anti-Iran resolution, days ahead of the Israeli aggression which started on June 13.
