Germany says Iran sending ‘disastrous signal’ by cutting out IAEA, though inspectors remain
Germany says Iran’s decision to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency sends a “disastrous signal.”
“For a diplomatic solution it is essential for Iran to work with the IAEA,” foreign ministry spokesman Martin Giese tells reporters, after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian formally enacted the suspension following Israeli and US strikes on its nuclear facilities.
It remains unclear what the effect of Pezeshkian’s move is. A diplomat with knowledge of the watchdog’s operations says that nuclear inspectors were still there after the announcement and had not been told by the government to leave.
