Iran Halts Cooperation with IAEA Post U.S. Strikes on Nuclear Sites

Dubai, Jul 2 (AP) Iran's president has reportedly mandated a halt to the country's collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency. This decision follows American airstrikes targeting Iran's critical nuclear sites. State media reported the directive from President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The move comes in response to a law passed by Iran's parliament aiming to suspend such cooperation, a measure that has also received the approval of a constitutional watchdog.

The implications of this decision for the IAEA, the United Nations' nuclear oversight body, remain unclear. The IAEA, headquartered in Vienna, has been overseeing Iran's nuclear activities for an extended period. The agency did not immediately offer a comment when approached. (AP) RD RD
