The Iranian president issued an order on Wednesday to enforce the law on the suspension of the Iranian administration’s cooperation with the IAEA.

The Iranian Parliament passed a bill on June 25 to put the ties with the IAEA on hold after a biased report from IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi against Iran paved the way for a resolution by the Board of Governors that subsequently encouraged the Israeli regime to launch a war of aggression on Iran and also prompted the US to bomb three main nuclear sites of Iran.

The parliamentary bill was immediately ratified by the Constitutional Council.

While the Zionist regime waged a war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran’s military, nuclear and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan on June 22.

The Iranian military forces conducted powerful counterattacks immediately after the aggression. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.

Also, in response to the US attacks, Iranian armed forces launched a wave of missiles at al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 brought the fighting to a halt./tasnim
