Iran approves bill to suspend ties with UN watchdog

The Iranian body, tasked with vetting legislation, approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog yesterday, citing recent US and Israeli strikes.

Iranian lawmakers voted in favour of the bill on Wednesday, a day after a ceasefire ended a 12-day war with Israel that saw Israeli and US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Failure to condemn

Since the start of the war on June 13, Iranian officials have criticised the IAEA for failing to condemn the attacks.

Iran has also criticised the agency for passing a resolution on June 13, accusing it of non-compliance with its nuclear obligations.
