Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian put into effect on Wednesday a law pass by parliament last week to suspend cooperation with the U.N. nuclear. the IAEA, Iranian state media reported, likely further limiting inspectors’ ability to track Tehran’s program that had been enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels.
The order by Iran’s President included no timetables or details about what that suspension would entail.
Iran has limited IAEA inspections in the past as a pressure tactic in negotiating with the West though as of right now Tehran has denied that there’s any immediate plans to resume talks with the United States.
Wednesday’s decision comes a week after Iran’s parliament passed a law to suspend cooperation with the UN nuclear.
Iran blames the IAEA for collaborating with Israel and providing a pathway for strikes on its nuclear facilities, an accusation which the agency denies.
