Unclear if Iran implementing freeze on cooperation with nuke watchdog
The IAEA has yet to comment on the report by Iranian state media that President Masoud Pezeshkian has enacted a law suspending cooperation with the UN atomic watchdog, and it remains unclear what the move means for nuclear monitoring there.
After the passage of the law last month, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council was to oversee its implementation.
While the council itself hasn’t said anything publicly, Pezeshkian is the head of the council, so his reported order signals that the bill would be implemented.
However, under Iran’s theocratic government, there is room for the council to implement the bill as it sees fit. That means that everything lawmakers asked for might not be done.
