UN nuclear agency boss says inspectors will visit Iran’s nuclear sites under Iran-US interim deal
Grossi said inspectors will verify Iran’s nuclear sites under the interim deal, which requires downblending enriched uranium within 60 days.
- IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced Wednesday that the International Atomic Energy Agency will soon inspect nuclear sites in Iran, a critical component of the recent U.S.-Iran agreement to end their conflict.
- Earlier this month, the IAEA Board of Governors demanded Tehran disclose enriched uranium information, while last week the U.S. and Iran agreed to a deal providing 60 days to downblend stockpiles.
- Since Israel launched a 12-day war on Iran in 2025, Tehran has blocked access to enrichment sites believed to store uranium enriched up to 60% purity without a weapons program.
- Grossi countered Tehran's claim that bombed sites were not scheduled for inspection, stating the IAEA will verify facilities independently: 'Obviously, to do that, we have to inspect.'
- Nonproliferation experts worry the Islamic Republic may be moving its stockpile to undeclared areas, even as nearly 60 days remain to finalize broader agreements under the U.S.-Iran accord.
