Tehran, June 25 (Alliance News): Iran’s parliament has approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in response to the recent US and Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear facilities, Iranian media reported on Tuesday.
The decision was taken by the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee during an extended session on Monday.
Ebrahim Rezaei, the committee’s spokesman, confirmed that the bill had been passed by the parliamentary body and now awaits final approval by the Supreme National Security Council of Iran.
According to Rezaei, the proposed legislation would effectively halt Iran’s compliance with several key IAEA protocols.
“If approved, the government will suspend cooperation with the IAEA, meaning the agency will no longer be provided with guarantees, inspections, or access to nuclear facilities,” he stated.
He further explained that the suspension would include restrictions on the installation of surveillance cameras at nuclear sites and would prevent IAEA inspectors from conducting visits or submitting verification reports.
Rezaei emphasized that such measures would remain in place until Iran’s nuclear facilities are “fully secured” from foreign aggression.
This legislative response comes in the wake of aggressive military actions by the United States and Israel, which included precision airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
The attacks were carried out using US B-2 stealth bombers and bunker-busting munitions.
Following the strikes, US President Donald Trump declared that Iran’s nuclear program had been “neutralized,” claiming that the targeted facilities were completely destroyed.
“Iran will never possess an atomic bomb,” Trump said, reinforcing Washington’s long-standing stance against Tehran’s uranium enrichment efforts.
In retaliation, Iran launched a missile barrage at the Al Udeid US military base in Qatar, asserting that its response was limited and proportionate.
The exchange raised regional tensions to dangerous levels before Trump announced a brokered ceasefire between Iran and Israel, a claim that Iran has cautiously acknowledged but not fully confirmed.
Iran’s move to limit IAEA access signals a major setback for global nuclear monitoring efforts and adds a new layer of complexity to ongoing diplomatic initiatives aimed at de-escalating the crisis.
International observers warn that a full suspension of IAEA oversight could deepen mistrust and prompt further international isolation for Tehran.
The final decision now rests with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. If enacted, the suspension could be implemented in the coming days, representing a significant shift in Iran’s nuclear policy and a challenge to international non-proliferation frameworks.
