Iran has enacted its temporary suspension of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
President Masoud Pezeshkian has signed the corresponding legislation, local media reported on Wednesday.
The decision means that Iran would not allow IAEA inspectors into the country until the “security” of its nuclear facilities is guaranteed.
For this to occur, the Vienna-based organisation must condemn the attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran’s nuclear facilities and recognise the Iranian nuclear programme, parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in recent days.
Many details of the new regulation remain unclear.
According to the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, IAEA nuclear inspectors are still in the country.
However, they are not permitted access to the damaged nuclear facilities that Israel and the U.S. had bombed during the war with Iran.
A ceasefire is now in effect. (dpa/NAN)
