Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has approved a law to halt cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a move that will likely obscure any attempt by Tehran to restart its nuclear program, amid tensions over the country's disputed nuclear activities. The law, which was previously passed by lawmakers, gives Pezeshkian the authority to suspend Iran's participation in IAEA monitoring and verification efforts. This development comes as the United Nations Security Council is set to discuss a new resolution on Iran's nuclear program later this month. The move is seen as a significant escalation of tensions between Iran and the international community over its nuclear activities.
