U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Iran had not agreed to inspections of its nuclear program or to give up enriching uranium.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday he dared Iran to “go ahead” with a counterattack in response to last month’s United States airstrikes that destroyed three Iranian nuclear sites. “They called me to tell me they have to take a shot at us.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Iran wants to speak to the United States, and that he would meet with representatives of the country "if necessary."

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.

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

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has approved a law to halt cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a move which will likely obscure any attempt by Tehran to restart its damaged nuclear program.
