President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian announced the suspension of cooperation with the IAEA

Iran is also considering a ban on entry into the country for IAEA chief Rafael Grossi due to his "destructive behavior"

The President of Iran signed a law to suspend cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog in order to "ensure full support for Iran's inalienable rights," "especially in the field of uranium enrichment." As reported by Times of Israel, the text of the law does not specify specific measures related to the suspension of cooperation with the IAEA. It only states that any future inspection of Iran's nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency requires approval from Tehran's Supreme National Security Council.

Iran is also considering a ban on entry for IAEA chief Rafael Grossi, who is criticized for "facilitating Israeli-American aggression against Iran." The authorities rejected Grossi's request to visit nuclear facilities attacked during the war, and earlier this week Pezeshkian condemned his "destructive" behavior.

In Iran, they claim that it was based on "politically motivated reports by Grossi" that the IAEA Board of Governors adopted an "anti-Iranian resolution," providing Israel with a pretext for attacks on Iran.

"We are aware of these reports. The IAEA expects further official information from Iran," the agency said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in an interview with CBS News stated that the US bombing of Iran's key nuclear facility in Fordow "seriously and severely damaged" the facility. However, he emphasized that "it is impossible to destroy technology and science... with bombings."
