The 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, which erupted on June 13, has sharply escalated tensions between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The law aims to “ensure full support for the inherent rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran” under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, with a particular focus on uranium enrichment, according to Iranian media.
On Sunday, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, said the inspectors’ work had been suspended but denied any threats against them or IAEA chief Rafael Grossi.
Uranium enrichment has long been a core sticking point in nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, which have since stalled due to the conflict. Israel and some Western countries accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons -- claims Tehran denies.
After parliament passed the bill, it was approved by the Guardian Council and ratified by the presidency.
“Pezeshkian promulgated the law suspending cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency,“ state television said.
‘Deceptive and fraudulent’
Iranian officials have warned the mechanism could prompt their withdrawal from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Israel, widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, is not an NPT signatory.
On Wednesday, senior judiciary official Ali Mozaffari accused Grossi of “preparing the groundwork” for Israel’s raids and called for him to be held accountable, citing “deceptive actions and fraudulent reporting”.
Britain, France and Germany and have condemned unspecified “threats” against the IAEA chief.
Damage
The 12-day war began when Israel launched a major bombing campaign on Iran and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists, with Tehran responding with waves of missiles and drones launched at Israel.
More than 900 people were killed in Iran, according to the judiciary.
US President Donald Trump said the US attacks had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear programme, though the extent of the damage was not clear.
But in a recent interview with CBS Evening News, he said: “One cannot obliterate the technology and science... through bombings”.
