Iran passes law suspending cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog

# Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian today put into effect a law passed by parliament last month to suspend cooperation with the UN’s nuclear watchdog. Iranian state media reported that the bill stipulates that any future inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency would need approval by the Supreme National Security Council. The move follows an air war with Israel in which Iran’s longtime enemy said it wanted to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. Iran says the Agency refused to condemn the attack on its nuclear facilities, putting its credibility in doubt.
