US EditionIran Considers Nuclear Inspection Access, Urges Action Against Israel
Iran states enriched nuclear material remains under rubble of bombed sites and says inspections require approval from its Supreme National Security Council amid ongoing diplomatic tensions.
- Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Thursday that the enriched nuclear material is still located beneath the debris of sites damaged during the recent conflict with Israel.
- This situation follows Israeli and US strikes on major nuclear sites and Tehran's suspension of cooperation with the IAEA after a law passed by its parliament.
- Araghchi announced a new cooperation framework agreed on Tuesday with IAEA chief Rafael Grossi, granting inspectors access only with approval from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
- The IAEA reported that as of mid-June, Iran had approximately 441 kilograms of uranium enriched to nearly 60 percent purity, approaching weapons-grade levels, while Western nations demand transparency from Iran regarding the uranium’s location amid concerns over its nuclear intentions.
- Tehran warned that the agreement would become invalid if the UN sanctions snapback mechanism is activated, while in late August, the UK, France, and Germany took steps to restore sanctions in response to Iran's failure to comply.
