Iran Says UN Nuclear Watchdog Official Will Visit Country for Talks, but No Inspections Planned
TEHRAN, IRAN, AUG 10 – The visit aims to restart cooperation after Iran suspended ties with the IAEA amid accusations of bias; inspections remain halted pending a new framework, officials said.
- On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the deputy director of the International Atomic Energy Agency will visit Tehran to discuss cooperation.
- Last month, Iran’s Parliament suspended cooperation with the IAEA through a June 25 law, citing bias after airstrikes, and President Pezeshkian reinforced it on July 3.
- No nuclear inspections are planned during the visit, and IAEA inspectors have been unable to access facilities since June's strikes, as the law requires approval by the Supreme National Security Council.
- Amid threats of UN sanctions, European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal threatened to reinstate sanctions via the snapback mechanism, and Araghchi warned no cooperation will resume until a new framework is established.
- Amid suspended cooperation, Iran says the IAEA’s 35-nation Board declared it in breach after a May 31 report, with timelines for restart unclear.
