<h6><strong>Eduardo González</strong></h6> <h4><strong>The Spanish government expressed its “concern” on Thursday over Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's decision to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).</strong></h4> "We call on Iran to comply with its obligations under its Safeguards Agreement, which is essential to guaranteeing the integrity of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. "We reiterate our firm support for the IAEA and its Director General," Rafael Grossi added. Tehran has denounced the Argentine diplomat's "politically motivated" reports, which, in its opinion, have served as a "pretext" for the recent Israeli-US offensive against Iranian nuclear facilities. Pezeshkian approved a law on Wednesday suspending cooperation with the IAEA. Under this law, Iran will not allow IAEA inspectors to enter unless the security of the country's nuclear facilities and the regime's "peaceful nuclear activities" are guaranteed. Iran's decision follows recent Israeli and US attacks on Iran's nuclear program and the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Tehran has accused the IAEA of complicity for failing to condemn attacks that it believes violate the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and international law. UN Secretary-General António Guterres described Iran's decision as "worrying," his spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, said at a daily press briefing from UN Headquarters in New York. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has called on Germany, France, and the United Kingdom to reinstate "all sanctions" against Iran, and U.S. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce has warned that Iran's decision is "unacceptable."
