Iran's president reportedly ordered the country to suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday signed an order suggesting the country to suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after American airstrikes hit its most important nuclear facilities.

The law, passed by parliament and approved by the Guardian Council last week, was formally enacted by President Masoud Pezeshkian in a letter dated July 1.

The Vienna-based IAEA has long monitored Iran’s nuclear programme. However, the agency has not issued a response yet.

After the law’s passage, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council was to oversee the bill and its implementation. While the council itself hasn’t said anything publicly, but since Pezeshkian is the head of the council, his order signals that the bill would be implemented.

However, under Iran’s theocractic government, there is room for the council to implement the bill as they see fit. That means that everything lawmakers asked for might not be done.
