Iran's president reportedly suspends cooperation with U.N. nuclear watchdog

The move follows a law passed by Iran’s parliament last week, after American airstrikes hit Iran's most-important nuclear facilities.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s president on Wednesday reportedly ordered the country to suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after American airstrikes hit its most-important nuclear facilities.

State media online reported the decision by President Masoud Pezeshkian.

It follows a law passed by Iran’s parliament to suspend that cooperation. It also already received the OK of a constitutional watchdog as well.

It wasn’t immediately clear what that would mean for the IAEA, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog.
