Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that a bill suspending cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog was now “binding” after being passed by lawmakers and approved by a top vetting body, AFP reports.

“The bill that was approved by (parliament) and has been approved by the Guardian Council today… is binding on us and there is no doubt about its implementation,” he told state television. “From now on, our relationship and cooperation with the (International Atomic Energy) Agency will take a new form.”
