Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has officially enforced a law suspending Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to Iranian news sources.
The law was approved by Iran’s Parliament following the Iran-Israel conflict, citing the IAEA’s biased behavior. The bill was later endorsed by the Supreme National Security Council, and now President Pezeshkian has formally enacted it.
Under this law, IAEA inspectors will no longer be granted access to Iran’s nuclear facilities unless the agency provides written guarantees regarding its conduct.
Members of the Iranian Parliament have stated that they are also working on a second bill, which would keep cooperation suspended until the IAEA adopts a neutral and professional approach.
In addition, Iran is considering a ban on the entry of IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, as part of broader measures to counter what Tehran perceives as the agency’s political agenda.
A senior Iranian lawmaker said:
“We have urged the Supreme National Security Council to impose a ban on Rafael Grossi’s entry into the country.”
