Iran Urges UN Nuclear Watchdog to Drop 'Double Standards'
IRAN, JUL 10 – Iran halted cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after bombings by the US and Israel, raising global security concerns as inspections ceased on July 2.
- On June 13, Israel and the United States launched air strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites two days before scheduled nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington.
- The strikes followed a June 12 IAEA resolution accusing Iran of breaching nuclear obligations, which Tehran says enabled the attacks and exposed the agency's double standards.
- The bombing triggered a 12-day conflict during which Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel, leading to a US-brokered cease-fire on June 24 and the IAEA withdrawing all inspectors due to security concerns.
- President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran’s collaboration with the international nuclear watchdog will only continue if the agency addresses its perceived biased treatment, warning that any further hostile actions toward Iran would trigger a stronger and more regrettable reaction.
- Despite deep mistrust and the threat of UN sanctions or renewed military action, the United States and Iran plan to resume nuclear negotiations aiming for a permanent deal addressing Iran's nuclear program and regional security.
