In a major development with global implications, the Chairman of Iran’s Parliament National Security Committee has reportedly announced that all monitoring activities conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Iran will be suspended.
The statement, which is yet to be officially confirmed by Iran’s government or the IAEA, signals a sharp escalation in the ongoing tensions between Iran and Western powers amid rising regional hostilities.
This decision, if enforced, would severely hinder international oversight of Iran’s nuclear activities, raising serious concerns about transparency and potential nuclear proliferation.
The move comes amid renewed conflict between Iran and Israel, and follows growing pressure on Tehran over its nuclear ambitions.
Global reactions are expected as diplomatic communities brace for the impact of this development on the already fragile Middle East security framework.
