Pezeshkian’s Wednesday announcement, ending international oversight of the regime’s nuclear program, comes a week after the Iranian parliament voted to suspend cooperation with the IAEA after years of conflict with the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog. The regime has also banned the head of the IAEA from its nuclear sites and is removing surveillance cameras from such facilities.
