SAEDNEWS: IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said inspectors have visited all Iranian nuclear facilities that were not struck in June’s attacks, while access to Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow remains suspended due to security concerns.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, without condemning the U.S. strike on Iranian territory—a move that occurred amid indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington—said the agency has inspected all Iranian nuclear facilities that were not targeted.
According to Russia Today, Grossi told the Austrian newspaper Die Presse that IAEA inspectors remain in Iran, though inspections were suspended following the June attacks on Iranian nuclear sites.
Grossi said the main facilities suffered extensive damage, making inspections impossible for safety reasons. He added that Iran subsequently limited its cooperation with the IAEA.
The Director General noted that the agency sought dialogue with Iranian officials and held discussions in Cairo, where an agreement was reached. As a result, IAEA inspectors were able to visit all facilities that had not been attacked.
However, Grossi confirmed that access to Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow remains restricted.
