Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian put into effect on Wednesday a law passed by parliament last week to suspend cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, a move the United States called “unacceptable.”
Iran has accused the IAEA of siding with Western countries and providing a justification for Israel’s air strikes, which began a day after the U.N. agency’s board voted to declare Iran in violation of obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
