Iran Cuts Ties With IAEA, Accusing It of Enabling US Airstrikes
Briefly

The Iranian parliament has approved a resolution suspending cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unless its nuclear facilities' security is assured. Lawmakers accused the IAEA of enabling U.S. airstrikes on Iranian sites without condemnation, claiming the agency has compromised its credibility. The decision reflects Iran's commitment to advancing its peaceful nuclear program in response to perceived threats. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi highlighted the need for inspectors to return to assess damage at Iranian facilities targeted by U.S. strikes, which may have not been as catastrophic as claimed by U.S. officials.
"The IAEA, which did not even formally condemn the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, has put its international credibility up for sale," said Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi stated that "the return of inspectors to Iran's nuclear facilities is a top priority," following Iran's decision to suspend cooperation.
