ensions between the UN nuclear watchdog and Iran are at an all-time high amid Tehran's allegations of agency complicity in Israeli and US aggression.
“We will no longer give Grossi permission to be present at nuclear sites, or install cameras, because we saw information about our sites in documents obtained from the Israeli regime,” Iranian parliament vice speaker Hamid Reza Haji Babaei announced Saturday.
The high-ranking official’s comments follow an X post by Foreign Minister Araghchi Friday saying Grossi’s “insistence on visiting” the sites bombed by the US and Israel “under the pretext of safeguards is meaningless and possibly even malign in intent.”
Iran’s parliament voted to halt collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency this week until such a time that the safety and security of the country’s nuclear activities can be assured.
