European officials say a deal is needed to contain Iran’s nuclear program, but U.S. strikes may have given Tehran new incentive to develop an atomic weapon in secret.

Iran is quietly resuming indirect nuclear talks with the US despite strong opposition from hardliners, The Telegraph can reveal.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has signed a new law halting his country's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The step has drawn criticism from the US.

U.N. nuclear inspectors on Friday departed from Iran two days after the Middle Eastern nation suspended cooperation with the program and weeks after the United States and Israel bombed nuclear sites.

The move intensifies a standoff over Iran’s nuclear work following Tehran’s decision to suspend cooperation with the agency.

The withdrawal of international inspectors comes amid heightened concerns that Iran, battered by Israeli and U.S. strikes, may be driven to try to build a nuclear bomb.
