Iran will continue to engage with the UN’s nuclear watchdog even after it announced the suspension of cooperation, the country’s top diplomat said, boosting hopes for oversight of its contested atomic program despite Israel’s attacks.

The decision means that international inspectors will not be able to oversee sites. Experts have warned that Tehran could revive plans to build a bomb.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has approved a law to halt cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a move which will likely obscure any attempt by Tehran to restart its damaged nuclear program.

Trump has said the strikes caused "total obliteration" of Iran's nuclear facilities. Senior Iranian officials have acknowledged serious damage to the sites. But international inspectors have not yet been given access to fully assess the situation. The three main nuclear sites involved are at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

President Donald J. Trump did what any real Commander-in-Chief must do when faced with a direct threat to American security and the safety of our allies. He acted. And he acted decisively. The strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not just a show of strength — they were a message.

President Donald Trump said early Monday he is "not offering Iran anything" despite suggesting new nuclear talks with Tehran.
