Iran’s Parliament has approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), according to Iranian state media.

The bill, passed with 222 votes in favor, none against, and one abstention, also prohibits IAEA inspectors from entering Iranian nuclear facilities unless their security is guaranteed.

The move signals growing tensions between Iran and international nuclear watchdogs following recent regional escalations.

The legislation is seen as Tehran’s response to what it perceives as increasing threats to its nuclear infrastructure.

Earlier, a parliamentary committee has approved a general plan of a bill aimed at suspending Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in response to the U.N. nuclear watchdog’s conduct over the U.S. and Israeli aggression against Iran's soil.

According to Ebrahim Rezaei, the spokesperson for Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, the plan was approved by members after reviewing the details in a session held on Monday.

The bill, if approved, would require the government to suspend cooperation with the IAEA as long as Tehran is not given tangible guarantees of the agency’s professional conduct.

The spokesperson said that Iran, under the plan, might not cooperate with installing cameras at its nuclear sites, inspections, the entry of inspectors, or submitting reports to the Agency, until the security of all nuclear facilities is guaranteed.

The decision followed U.S. strikes on several Iranian nuclear sites, in violation of international law, including the United Nations Charter.

While the Israeli regime waged its war of aggression against Iran on June 13, the U.S. stepped in and launched aerial attacks on three nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan early Sunday.

Iran has said it reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people, with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) declaring that the attack violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and would not prevent Iran from developing its peaceful nuclear program.
