Iran Still Denies IAEA Inspectors Access to Some Nuclear Facilities
Scan to share
A recent report shows that Iran has still not allowed International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to access some of its nuclear facilities, including sites in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow that were previously damaged in airstrikes.
The report states that the IAEA had previously detected over 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium and nearly 8,600 kilograms of low-enriched uranium at these locations. Due to the current lack of sufficient information on the status and whereabouts of the relevant nuclear materials, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has expressed concerns over nuclear non-proliferation risks and called on Tehran to allow inspectors to access the facilities for verification as soon as possible.
The report also mentions that inspectors are expected to be granted access to the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in mid-September.
The IAEA Board of Governors is expected to review the situation regarding Iran's nuclear program next week.
