Iran Snaps Ties With U.N. Nuke Watchdog

Iran's president on Wednesday ordered the country to suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after American and Israeli airstrikes hit its most-important nuclear facilities, likely further limiting inspectors' ability to track Tehran's programme that had been enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels.

The order by President Masoud Pezeshkian included no timetables or details about what that suspension would entail. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi signaled in a CBS News interview that Tehran still would be willing to continue negotiations with the United States. "I don't think negotiations will restart as quickly as that," Araghchi said, referring to US President Donald Trump's comments that talks could start as early as this week. However, he added: "The doors of diplomacy will never slam shut."
