Overview

• Iran’s parliament voted to halt collaboration with the IAEA until security guarantees for its nuclear activities are established.
• Tehran accuses IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi of obfuscating past issues, facilitating U.S./Israeli bombings by misrepresenting Iran’s cooperation.
• The IAEA reports “enormous damage” to Iran’s nuclear facilities from recent airstrikes; it has not inspected the sites or described them as annihilated.
• Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged continued engagement with the IAEA, reminding stakeholders that Iran’s supreme leader has banned nuclear weapons.
• Iran rejects any immediate talks with the United States, conditioning future cooperation on ironclad security guarantees for its nuclear facilities.
