IRAN STRIKES BACK: Parliament CUTS TIES With IAEA Over US-Israel 'Spying' |Khamenei Declares Victory

Iran's Parliament has voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, branding it a "spy tool" of Western powers. The IRGC’s Sepah News confirmed the vote amid fiery debates and nationalistic sloganeering. Iranian leaders accuse the IAEA of siding with the U.S. and Israel, endangering national sovereignty. Supreme Leader Khamenei declared a "decisive victory" over Western pressure, while Russia’s Foreign Minister warned the IAEA to maintain neutrality. As Tehran escalates its stance, tensions over nuclear transparency and geopolitical influence deepen. #Iran #IAEA #IranParliament #NuclearTensions #Khamenei #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire #TelAvivSkyline #MilitaryTensions #IDFHeadquarters #IsraelVsIran #BreakingNews Also Read Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Guardian Council Approves Bill To Suspend Cooperation With IAEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-guardian-council-approves-bill-to-suspend-cooperation-with-iaea-7784177.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Iran CONFIRMS Nuclear Sites ‘Badly Damaged’ By US Strikes, Vows Revenge | Ends IAEA Cooperation

Iran on Wednesday admitted that U.S. and Israeli strikes caused severe damage to its nuclear facilities, validating President Trump’s claim of “complete obliteration.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei confirmed “significant damage” while refusing to share specifics. In retaliation, Iran’s Parliament fast-tracked a bill suspending cooperation with the IAEA. Despite destruction, Iran vowed to continue its nuclear program. #IranNuclearStrikes #TrumpOnIran #IranIsraelWar #USIranConflict #IAEA #BunkerBusterBombs #NuclearSitesHit #TrumpObliterationClaim #FordowAttack #IranRetaliation #MiddleEastWar #IranParliamentBill #NoMoreIAEA #IranEnrichment #NuclearCrisis #IranMissileStrikes #TehranOnAlert #TrumpNATOStatement #IranUSCeasefire #RafaelGrossi Also Read Iranian Citizens Contemplate Future After 12-Day War and US-Brokered Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/12-day-war-ceasefire-iran-future-concerns-011-7783479.html?ref=DMDesc Middle East Conflict Reveals Significant Changes in Global Energy Supply Dynamics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-conflict-global-energy-supply-changes-011-7783469.html?ref=DMDesc Battered Iran Faces Uncertain Future After Conflict with Israel Amidst Economic Turmoil :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/battered-iran-faces-uncertain-future-after-war-with-israel-011-7783467.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.122~
