Last month, Israel sparked large -scale strikes on the nuclear sites in Tehran, its military leaders, its nuclear scientists and its residential areas, killing hundreds.

Israel said that his assault on June 13 was undertaken to “back up the Iranian threat to the very survival of Israel,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

But Iran said war was an assault not caused in violation of the United Nations Charter.

In the frantic days that followed, Iran retaliated and the two countries exchanged daily missile dams.

The United States later intervened in the name of Israel, deployment of so-called “bunker buster” bombs and missiles to target the installation of highly fortified Fordow, as well as Natanz and Isfahan.

The last act in the 12 -day conflict came when Iran responded by targeting a key American base in Qatar, Trump announcing a cease-fire in the hours that followed.

After the conflict, Iran announced that it suspended cooperation with the United Nations nuclear guard dog, the IAEA, in the midst of a deep distrust for the organization.

Araghchi said on Saturday that cooperation with the nuclear agency “would take a new form” after President Masoud Pezeshkian signed last week A suspended law Iran’s collaboration with IAEA.

“Our cooperation with the agency has not stopped, but will take a new form,” said Araghchi.

The new law stresses that any future inspection of Iran’s nuclear sites by IAEA needs approval by the Supreme National Council.

PEZESHKIAN warned that the IAEA had to lower its “double standard” on Thursday if it wanted to restore cooperation with Tehran.

The president added that “any repeated assault against Iran will meet with a more decisive and regrettable response”.
