IAEA Chief Says Inspectors Will Visit Iran's Nuclear Sites Under Iran-US Interim Deal
The head of the UN nuclear agency has signaled that inspectors will visit Iranian nuclear enrichment sites under an interim deal between Iran and the US.
Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has confirmed that IAEA inspectors will visit Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. This announcement comes a day after the United States and Iran made contradictory statements on the issue.
Grossi stated that the visits are part of an interim agreement between Iran and the US aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. The exact timing and scope of the inspections have not been made public.
Previously, US and Iranian officials gave conflicting accounts regarding whether inspectors would be granted full access to all sites. Grossi's confirmation indicates that the agreement is being implemented, although the positions of the two sides remain at odds.
