Breaking Up With The IAEA, Iran Remains Committed To Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation Treaty
JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said his country remains committed to the Nuclear Weapons or NPT Non-Proliferation Treaty.
This was conveyed by Araqchi the day after Iran cut ties with the UN nuclear watchdog (IAEA), after several Iranian nuclear facilities were attacked by the US and Israel recently.
"Our cooperation with the IAEA will be channeled through Iran's Highest National Security Council for clear safety and security reasons," Araqchi wrote in a post on X, Thursday, July 3.

The Araqchi post is a response to calls from the German Foreign Ministry urging Iran to overturn the decision to cut ties with the IAEA.
Araqchi accuses Germany of explicitly supporting Israel's unlawful attacks on Iran, including guarded nuclear sites.
On Wednesday July 2, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian enacted a law passed by parliament to stop cooperation with the IAEA. A move against the US is raw.
The effort is an Iranian response that considers the IAEA to side with Western countries and justifies US-Israeli airstrikes against Iran's nuclear installation on June 13-24.
