Iran halts cooperation with IAEA

Iran's president has enacted a law to suspend cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog, limiting international inspectors from overseeing its nuclear program. Experts warn this could lead Iran to secretly pursue a nuclear weapon following recent strikes by Israel and the U.S.

The I.A.E.A. has reported Iran stockpiling 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, enough for ten bombs. Iranian lawmakers demand that any resumption of cooperation guarantee the safety of their nuclear program and their right to enrich uranium. Israel's foreign minister urged allies to reinstate sanctions in response to Iran's actions, viewing it as a violation of international nuclear commitments.
