Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirmed on July 3, 2025, that Iran remains committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and its Safeguards Agreement. This statement came a day after Tehran enacted legislation that suspends direct cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Despite the new law, Araghchi emphasized that Iran has not ended its cooperation with the IAEA but will channel all interactions exclusively through Iran's Supreme National Security Council for safety and security reasons. The minister dismissed allegations from Germany accusing Iran of undermining international oversight as "fake news" and criticized Germany for supporting Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Araghchi reiterated that Iran's adherence to the NPT and related agreements remains intact under the new parliamentary law, which was passed in response to what Tehran describes as illegal attacks on its nuclear facilities. The shift in oversight aims to ensure national security while maintaining Iran's obligations under international nuclear non-proliferation frameworks.
