Pezeshkian’s government formalizes rejection of nuclear oversight amid deepening standoff
Masoud Pezeshkian, the recently installed president of the Iranian regime, has signed into effect a controversial law that suspends Tehran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The law, passed by the regime’s parliament on June 25 and approved the same day by the Guardian Council, now directs all nuclear-related agencies to cease engagement with international inspectors.
State-run media released a letter from Pezeshkian notifying the law to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the Supreme National Security Council, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This move comes as Iran faces growing international pressure to return to the negotiating table. By halting IAEA inspections, the regime further isolates itself diplomatically and risks triggering full international sanctions, particularly through the European Union’s “trigger mechanism” as previously warned by French officials.
