- This decision followed a parliamentary vote and a law aimed at halting cooperation after Israel launched unprecedented strikes that killed key nuclear scientists.
- Iranian officials accused IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi of bias and complicity, claiming the agency's reports aided Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear sites.
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared the suspension binding until the safety of Iran's nuclear activities is guaranteed, noting roughly 400 kilograms of enriched uranium remained pre-attacks.
