The Iranian President said Thursday that the United Nations nuclear guard dog is expected to lower his “double standard” if Tehran should resume cooperation with the Islamic Republic nuclear program, Iranian state media reported.
President Masoud Pezeshkian promulgated a law suspended the suspension with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the AIEA said that it had withdrawn its last remaining Iran inspectors.
Relations between Iran and IAEA have worsened since the United States and Israel bombed the Iranian nuclear installations in June, saying that they wanted to prevent Tehran from developing an atomic weapon. Iran claims that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only and denies in search of atomic weapons.

“The continuation of Iran’s cooperation with the Agency (IAEA) depends on the latter to correct its double standard concerning the nuclear file,” said Pezeshkian, the president of the European Council, the president of the European Council Antonio Costa.
“Any repeated aggression (against Iran) will be encountered with a more decisive and regrettable response,” he said.
Tehran accuses the IAEA of not having condemned the attacks of the United States and Israel, and says that the nuclear watchdog has paved the path to the attack by issuing a resolution declaring Iran in violation of its non-proliferation obligations.

“The fact of not observing the principle of impartiality in the relationships is one of the examples which cast doubt on the status and credibility of the IAEA,” said Pezeshkian.
The bombing of Iran’s nuclear installations led to a 12 -day war during which Iran launched drones and missiles in Israel.
The IAEA inspectors have not been able to inspect Iranian installations from the bombing campaign, even if the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, said that it was his absolute priority.
