Iran halts IAEA cooperation after Europe triggers UN sanctions snapback

Iran’s top security body announced on Saturday that the decision made by Britain, France, and Germany to reimpose UN sanctions will lead to the effective suspension of its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This move comes as a response to the European powers’ actions derailing a recent monitoring deal and escalating the nuclear standoff. The Iranian Foreign Ministry’s attempts to collaborate with the IAEA have been halted due to the reimposition of UN sanctions. This development further strains the relationship between Iran and European countries, leading to a breakdown in diplomatic efforts to address the nuclear issue.
