As Iran suspends its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, its deputy foreign minister is speaking out about the damage to his country's nuclear program. NBC's Richard Engel report for TODAY from Tehran.

The decision means that international inspectors will not be able to oversee sites. Experts have warned that Tehran could revive plans to build a bomb.

Iran's president has made a move to suspend cooperation with the IAEA official as Tehran weighs its options after strikes on its nuclear facilities.

Bruce's lengthy statement continued, "Prior to the United States' successful military operation, Iran was amassing a growing stockpile of highly enriched uranium for which there was no credible peaceful purpose, and it was the only state producing highly enriched uranium, up to 60%, that does not have nuclear weapons."

President Donald J. Trump did what any real Commander-in-Chief must do when faced with a direct threat to American security and the safety of our allies. He acted. And he acted decisively. The strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not just a show of strength — they were a message.

President Donald Trump said early Monday he is "not offering Iran anything" despite suggesting new nuclear talks with Tehran.
