Iran cuts off cooperation with nuclear watchdog
- Late last week, Iran's parliament voted to suspend cooperation with the IAEA, blaming its director-general Grossi for complicity in recent attacks, and citing a binding vote.
- Following Israeli strikes on June 13 that killed top officials and scientists, a US attack on Fordow prompted Iran to suspend cooperation with the IAEA.
- Iran had fully complied with IAEA safeguards until this month’s strikes cut off access, and Araghchi accused Grossi of violating his duties by refusing to condemn the attacks.
- Iran's suspension of cooperation with the IAEA, blaming Grossi and approved by parliament, threatens to undermine nuclear monitoring and verification efforts.
- Beyond the move, experts warn Iran's suspension may deepen its isolation and hinder the stalled JCPOA revival, raising regional conflict risks.
