Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has demanded that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) abandon what he described as 'double standards' in its approach to Tehran’s nuclear programme.
His remarks came after Iran suspended cooperation with the agency and the IAEA pulled its last inspectors from the country.
The relationship between Iran and the IAEA has sharply deteriorated since the United States and Israel launched airstrikes in June on Iranian nuclear sites, claiming it was to prevent nuclear weapons development. Iran has repeatedly insisted its nuclear ambitions are peaceful and denies seeking atomic arms.
Speaking with European Council President Antonio Costa by phone, Pezeshkian said future cooperation depends on the IAEA correcting its biased stance.
He also warned that Iran would respond decisively to any further attacks, criticizing the agency for failing to condemn the bombings and accusing it of fuelling tensions by passing a resolution that accused Tehran of violating non-proliferation obligations.
