Iran suspends cooperation with UN nuclear inspectors
Tehran
Iran has enacted its temporary suspension of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
President Masoud Pezeshkian has signed the corresponding legislation, the Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday.
The decision means that Iran will not allow IAEA inspectors into the country until the 'security' of its nuclear facilities is guaranteed.
For this to occur, the Vienna-based organization must condemn the attacks by the US and Israel on Iran's nuclear facilities and recognize the Iranian nuclear programme, parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in recent days.
Many details of the new regulation remain unclear.
According to the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, IAEA nuclear inspectors are still in the
country.
However, they are not permitted access to the damaged nuclear facilities that Israel and the US had bombed during the war with Iran. A ceasefire is now in effect.

IAEA inspectors depart Tehran after US-Israel-Iran conflict
A team of inspectors from the UN's nuclear watchdog have left Iran, following Tehran's decision to suspend cooperation with the organisation after its 12-day conflict with Israel and the United States. In a statement posted on X on Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said its employees would return to its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi stressed 'the crucial importance' of holding talks with Iran to resume its monitoring and verification work as soon as possible, the post added. The inspectors stayed in the Iranian capital throughout the recent fighting, which started on 13 June when Israel targeted Iranian military sites and killed some of the country's most senior commanders, top scientists, and a number of civilians. The US later became involved in the conflict, dropping bunker buster bombs on nuclear facilities in Iran, in a mission the Trump administration claimed had significantly set back the country's nuclear programme. In the aftermath of the US and Israeli aerial attacks, Iran, which has said it is still committed to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), but made painfully clear its burgeoning distrust of the IAEA. Since the start of the conflict, Iranian officials have sharply criticised the IAEA not only for failing to condemn the Israeli and US strikes, but also for passing a resolution on June 12 accusing Tehran of non-compliance with its nuclear obligations, the day before Israel attacked. On Wednesday, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered the country to cut ties with the nuclear watchdog. A bill to suspend cooperation had already been passed in the Iranian parliament and approved by the country's Guardian Council. Guardian Council spokesperson Hadi Tahan Nazif said the decision had been taken for the 'full respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran'. The bill itself says the suspension 'will remain in effect until certain conditions are met, including the guaranteed security of nuclear facilities and scientists', according to Iranian state television. The US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce called Iran's decision to suspend cooperation with the IAEA 'unacceptable', urging Tehran 'to reverse course and choose a path of peace and prosperity'. 'Iran cannot and will not have a nuclear weapon,' she reiterated. Tehran denies wanting to produce a nuclear bomb, reiterating for years that its nuclear programme is for civilian use only. Neither US Intelligence, nor Grossi said they had found any proof Tehran was building a nuclear weapon.

Vietnam strikes US tariff deal, but risks Beijing backlash
Agencies Vietnam's newly announced trade deal with the U.S. averts the most punishing of President Donald Trump's 'reciprocal' levies, but analysts warned it could lead to a fresh standoff between Washington and Beijing. The Southeast Asian nation has the third-biggest trade surplus with the U.S. of any country after China and Mexico, and was targeted with one of the highest rates in the U.S. president's 'Liberation Day' tariff blitz on April 2. The deal announced Wednesday is the first full pact Trump has sealed with an Asian nation, and analysts say it may give a glimpse of the template Washington will use with other countries still scrambling for accords. The 46% tariff rate, which was due to take effect next week, has been averted, with Vietnam set to face a minimum 20% levy in return for opening its market to U.S. products, including cars. But a 40% tariff will hit goods passing through the country to circumvent steeper trade barriers – a practice called 'transshipping.' Washington has accused Hanoi of relabeling Chinese goods to skirt its tariffs, but raw materials from the world's number two economy are the lifeblood of Vietnam's manufacturing industries. 'From a global perspective, perhaps the most interesting point is that this deal again seems in large part to be about China,' said Capital Economics. It said the terms on transshipment 'will be seen as a provocation in Beijing, particularly if similar conditions are included in any other deals agreed over the coming days.' Shares in clothing companies and sports equipment manufacturers – which have a large footprint in Vietnam – rose on news of the deal in New York. But they later declined sharply as details were released. 'This is a much better outcome than a flat 46% tariff, but I wouldn't celebrate just yet,' said Hanoi-based Dan Martin of Asian business advisory firm Dezan Shira & Associates. 'Everything now depends on how the U.S. decides to interpret and enforce the idea of transshipment,' he added. 'If the U.S. takes a broader view and starts questioning products that use foreign parts, even when value is genuinely added in Vietnam, it could end up affecting a lot of companies that are playing by the rules.' Vietnam's government said in a statement late on Wednesday that under the deal, the country had promised 'preferential market access for U.S. goods, including large-engine cars.' But the statement gave scant detail about the transshipment arrangements in the deal, which Trump announced on his Truth Social platform. Bloomberg Economics forecast Vietnam could lose a quarter of its exports to the U.S. in the medium term, endangering more than 2% of its gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of the agreement. Uncertainty over how transshipping will be 'defined or enforced' is likely to have diplomatic repercussions, said Bloomberg Economics expert Rana Sajedi. 'The looming question now is how China will respond,' she said. 'Beijing has made clear that it would respond to deals that came at the expense of Chinese interests.' And on Thursday, China warned against trade deals that 'hurt third parties.' 'China has always advocated that all parties resolve economic and trade differences through equal dialogue and consultation,' Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said. 'At the same time, relevant negotiations and agreements should not target or harm the interests of third parties,' she said. The U.S. deal with Vietnam comes less than a week before Trump's self-imposed July 9 deadline for steeper tariffs on U.S. trade partners to take effect if agreements are not reached. Trump's trade adviser Peter Navarro has called Vietnam a 'colony of China,' saying that one-third of Vietnamese products are, in fact, relabeled Chinese goods. Beijing's commerce ministry said on Thursday it had 'always firmly opposed' U.S. tariffs. 'China's position is consistent,' He Yongqian, spokesperson for China's Ministry of Commerce, told a briefing. 'We are happy to see all parties resolve economic and trade differences with the United States through equal consultations, but we firmly oppose any party reaching a deal at the expense of China's interests,' she said.

Iran says it is committed to NPT, slams Germany's support for Israel
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran is committed to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), dismissing speculation that Iran would leave the accord in response to major attacks by Israel and the United States on its nuclear and other sites. Araghchi also said on Thursday that Iran will honour its safeguards agreement with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), despite recently passing a law to suspend cooperation with the agency. Safeguards agreements between the IAEA and NPT signatories allow the UN agency to ensure that the countries' nuclear programmes remain peaceful. 'Iran remains committed to the NPT and its Safeguards Agreement,' Araghchi wrote in a social media post. 'In accordance with the new legislation by Majlis [parliament], sparked by the unlawful attacks against our nuclear facilities by Israel and the US, our cooperation with [the IAEA] will be channelled through Iran's Supreme National Security Council for obvious safety and security reasons.' It is not clear how that cooperation will proceed or when and how IAEA inspectors will be granted access to Iran's nuclear sites. Araghchi's comment was made in response to a German Federal Foreign Office statement decrying the Iranian legislation against the IAEA as a 'devastating message'. The Iranian foreign minister hit out at the criticism by Germany – one of Israel's most committed allies that backed the attacks against Iran last month. At the height of Israel's strikes, which were launched without direct provocation, Chancellor Friedrich Merz suggested Germany and the West are benefitting from the war. 'This is dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us,' he said. The remarks earned him praise from Israeli officials and caused outrage in some other quarters. On Thursday, Araghchi rebuked 'Germany's explicit support for Israel's unlawful attack on Iran, including safeguarded nuclear sites, as 'dirty work' carried out on behalf of the West'. He also accused Berlin of repudiating its commitments under the 2015 multilateral nuclear deal with Tehran by demanding zero enrichment by Iran. The pact – which US President Donald Trump torpedoed during his first term in 2018 – allows Iran to enrich uranium at a low grade under a strict monitoring regime. ''Iranians were already put off by Germany's Nazi-style backing of Genocide in Gaza, and its support for Saddam's war on Iran by providing materials for chemical weapons,' Araghchi said in a post on X. 'The explicit German support for the bombing of Iran has obliterated the notion that the German regime harbours anything but malice towards Iranians.' Companies from the former West Germany have long been accused by Iran of helping late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein develop chemical weapons, which he used against Iranian forces during the war between the two countries in the 1980s. Iran has been calling on Germany to investigate its ties to Iraq's chemical weapons, but Berlin has not publicly acknowledged any role in the programme. Germany and other European countries came out in support of Israel in its recent 12-day war with Iran, which killed hundreds of Iranian civilians, including nuclear scientists and their family members, as well as top military officials. The US joined the Israeli campaign last month, bombing three Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran retaliated against the US attack with a missile strike against an airbase in Qatar where US soldiers are stationed. Hours later, a ceasefire was reached. Iranian officials have sharply criticised the IAEA not only for failing to condemn the Israeli and US strikes but also for passing a resolution on June 12 accusing Tehran of noncompliance with its nuclear obligations, the day before Israel attacked. International law offers special protection to nuclear sites due to the high risk of an environmental disaster if attacks result in the leak of radioactive material. The state of the Iranian nuclear programme after the US and Israeli strikes remains unclear. On Wednesday, the Pentagon said the US bombing operation set back Iran's nuclear programme by one to two years. But IAEA chief Rafael Grossi recently said Iran could be enriching uranium again in a 'matter of months'. Enrichment is the process of enhancing the purity of radioactive uranium atoms to produce nuclear fuel. Iran has repeatedly denied seeking a nuclear weapon while Israel is widely believed to possess an undeclared nuclear arsenal of dozens of atomic bombs.
