U.S. Calls Iran’s Halt to IAEA Inspections ‘Unacceptable’

The United States on Wednesday condemned Iran’s decision to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, calling the move “unacceptable” and urging Tehran to resume full collaboration with the UN watchdog without delay. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said Iran is squandering a window of opportunity to choose “a path of peace and prosperity.”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian enacted a law, approved by parliament last week, that bars IAEA inspectors from entering the country unless visits are cleared by the Supreme National Security Council and guarantees are provided for the safety of nuclear facilities. The measure effectively freezes routine monitoring of Iran’s atomic program, raising new concerns about the transparency of its nuclear activities.

The legislation follows a 12-day conflict that erupted on 13 June when Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, prompting Iranian missile and drone attacks and subsequent U.S. involvement. Washington’s sharp response underscores mounting international pressure on Tehran at a moment when regional tensions and questions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions remain acute.
