A spokesperson for Iran’s Guardian Council has said that the body has approved a bill passed yesterday by the country’s parliament to suspend cooperation with the UN’s nuclear watchdog, Al Jazeera reports, citing Iran’s YJC news outlet.

Rhetoric against the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from Iranian leaders has resulted from Israel’s assault on the country, with officials blaming the agency for giving Israel and the US justification for carrying out their attacks.
