The IAEA agency reports information on nuclear projects to western countries. That being their job doesn't change what they do, it just legitimizes it.

After having their nuclear sites targeted thanks to this information being known, Iran probably has little interest in making the same mistake again.

Also their nuclear sites are **utterly destroyed** and they won't be able to do anything nuclear related for **years**, so what would they investigate anyway.

I'm not sure what you're trying to implying here. Is there some industrial espionage happening, where you think Iran is going to lose some secret to the other nuclear powers? Or do you think the international watchdog isn't going to report on the facilities and activities they're mandated to monitor?

lots of Iranian scientists who were working with the IAEA were murdered by the Israelis

That is correlation, not causation.

They were nuclear scientists so obviously work with the international atomic energy agency.

They were nuclear scientists so were a target for anyone who wanted to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program.

It's very difficult to prove but lots of Iranian scientists who were working with the IAEA were murdered by the Israelis.

70% of the IAEA's budget is dedicated to monitoring Iran which is bizarre.

Actions, meet consequences! If world leaders are going to ignore multiple reports, not to mention their own country’s intelligence agencies, all saying Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon, why bother letting anyone in to inspect?

Thanks, Trump & Bibi! Working together to make everyone just a bit less safe, and the world just a bit more shitty.

Good. IAEA is a tool of the US Empire. It was passing information on to Israel.

Irans nuclear capabilities were *totally* destroyed, why would they need to continue to cooperate with a nuclear investigation agency, which *totally* doesn't leak information to the west.
