US EditionIran Shuts Out Nuclear Monitors in Tactics that Recall Cold War
- Iran formally cut off inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency last week amid heightened secrecy following June airstrikes on its nuclear sites.
- This action came in response to recent military operations involving Israel and the United States, alongside a decision by Iran's Guardian Council to halt cooperation with the IAEA, aiming to maintain uncertainty regarding Iran's nuclear activities.
- Iran had previously permitted more than one IAEA inspection daily and participated in five negotiation rounds with the U.S. aimed at limiting its nuclear program; however, the current location of its 409-kilogram stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium remains undisclosed.
- Senior analyst Darya Dolzikova stated, "Ambiguity is not cost free," highlighting the risks and diplomatic leverage tied to possible fresh U.S. talks, while U.S. strikes may push Iran's nuclear program further underground.
- The suspension of IAEA monitoring complicates efforts to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions and raises questions about future U.S. and Israeli strategy, with no near-term resumption of inspections expected.
