Iran's Constitutional Council on June 26 approved a plan, already ratified by the parliament, to suspend the country's cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog.
This will hinder the International Atomic Energy Agency's efforts to send inspectors to the three nuclear sites in Iran struck by US forces last weekend.

00:07to suspend the country's cooperation with the United Nations' nuclear watchdog.

00:42and the government of Iran's nuclear watchdog,
00:46The plan was passed in Parliament on Wednesday, with 221 votes in favor and one abstention.
01:04The council said the plan also emphasized safeguarding Iran's inherent nuclear rights,
01:09including the enrichment of uranium on its own soil.
01:13This will hinder the International Atomic Energy Agency's efforts to send inspectors to the three nuclear sites in Iran struck by U.S. forces last weekend.
01:24The United States said intelligence showed that the sites were destroyed with President Donald Trump saying that images on social media
01:31were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts, and it would take too long and would be too dangerous to move.
01:38The Pentagon maintained that Iran did not move uranium from the sites before the strikes,
01:44and added that they did not change their assessment of the damage at the sites.
01:48I'm not aware of any intelligence that I've reviewed that says things were not where they were supposed to be, moved or otherwise.
01:55No, no, I have not, and no, I would not.
01:59My job as a chairman is to offer a range of options to the president and the National Command Authority
02:06to deliver the risks associated with each of those,
02:11and then take the orders of the National Command Authority and go execute them.
02:16I've never been pressured by the president or the secretary to do anything other than tell them exactly what I'm thinking,
02:23and that's exactly what I've done.
02:24On June 22, U.S. Air Force's B-2 stealth jets dropped six Bunker Buster bombs on the Fordo nuclear facility
02:33and launched dozens of submarine-based cruise missile attacks on two other sites in Natanz and Isfahan
02:40that they said had obliterated Iran's nuclear program.
