US EditionIAEA Pulls Inspectors From Iran as Standoff Over Access Drags On
TEHRAN PROVINCE, IRAN, JUL 5 – Iran suspended cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog after US-Israel strikes, leading to IAEA inspectors' withdrawal and raising concerns over oversight of 400 kg of highly enriched uranium.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency pulled its last inspectors from Iran on Friday, ending onsite nuclear monitoring after Iran suspended cooperation earlier this week in Tehran.
- Iran suspended cooperation following President Masoud Pezeshkian signing legislation on Wednesday that blocks IAEA oversight amid tensions after Israel and U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear and military sites in mid-June.
- IAEA inspectors remained in Tehran through the recent conflict but relocated to undisclosed locations before departing to Vienna, as security concerns rose and inspections were no longer permitted without Iran's Supreme National Security Council approval.
- IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated that the whereabouts of Iran’s enriched uranium supply are still unknown, and while U.S. and Israeli airstrikes may have set back the nuclear program, they likely caused only a short-term delay rather than its complete destruction.
- The inspectors' withdrawal ends effective international access to Iran's nuclear sites, heightening uncertainty about Iran's nuclear activities and placing renewed emphasis on the importance of resuming dialogue between Iran and the IAEA.
