Iran Warns Hostile Acts Will End IAEA Nuclear Cooperation Agreement

Iran has warned that any hostile actions, including the revival of UN sanctions or military attacks, will lead to the immediate suspension of its nuclear cooperation agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The arrangement, signed in Cairo and approved by Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), allows Iran to determine the identity of international inspectors and requires parliamentary and SNSC approval for inspections and reports. Iranian officials emphasized that cooperation with the IAEA is conditional and any hostile measures, especially by European countries influenced by the US and Israel, could prompt Tehran to halt inspections. Iran has no direct diplomatic contact with the United States but acknowledges indirect communication through intermediaries, while continuing talks with European nations over the "snapback" mechanism. Additionally, Iran is circulating a resolution at the IAEA to censure Israeli and US military attacks on its nuclear facilities, viewing such actions as violations of international law. The situation underscores Tehran's firm stance on maintaining control over nuclear inspections and its readiness to retaliate against perceived hostile moves.
