TEHRAN, June 27 (Xinhua) — Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Thursday that a bill to suspend the Islamic Republic’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been submitted to the government for implementation following the Guardian Council’s approval.
The move comes amid heightened regional tensions following recent exchanges of attacks with Israel and the United States.
“Today, after the Guardian Council approved the constitution, the law on suspending cooperation with the IAEA was submitted to the government,” the speaker wrote on his social media page X.
He accused the IAEA of acting as a “defender of Israel’s anti-human interests” and said further cooperation was impossible until the safety of Iran’s nuclear facilities was guaranteed.
The bill was passed in a public session on Wednesday with 221 votes in favor and one abstention, according to Iran’s parliamentary news agency ICANA.
The legislative measure follows an escalation that began on June 13, when Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killing several senior commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones against Israeli targets. –0–
