Iran's parliament halts IAEA cooperation after bombings
Iran's parliament voted to suspend cooperation with the IAEA, hindering independent verification of damage to its nuclear sites after recent bombings. This move further complicates international efforts to assess the situation. The unanimous decision makes it harder to determine the extent of damage to Iran's nuclear facilities and the location of enriched uranium. This action follows attacks by the US and Israel and signals Iran's desire to strengthen its negotiating position. The suspension, which may be finalized by the Guardian Council, comes amid internal debate in Iran about its strategic weaknesses. The IAEA and Russia have expressed concern, while the US and Iran are considering resuming talks.
