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 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.
