What Could Iran’s Suspension of Cooperation with UN Nuclear Watchdog Mean?

Following recent US and Israeli airstrikes, Iran has suspended all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following a new law passed by its parliament.

The decision likely freezes inspections, surveillance, and overseeing reports at key sites like Fordow and Natanz.

While Iran remains part of the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation Treaty, the move significantly limits international oversight.

Tehran frames the suspension as a protective measure for its sovereignty, though it has not fully ruled out diplomatic engagement.
