Iran's president orders country to suspend cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog IAEA

  • By JON GAMBRELL Associated Press

Iran's president has ordered the country to suspend its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after American airstrikes hit its most-important nuclear facilities. State media online on Wednesday reported the decision by President Masoud Pezeshkian. It follows a law passed by Iran's parliament to suspend that cooperation. It wasn't immediately clear what that would mean for U.N. watchdog IAEA. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi signaled in a CBS News interview that Tehran still would be willing to continue negotiations with the United States.
