According to Euronews, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi has rejected assertions from Tehran that no agreement exists to permit inspections of bombed nuclear enrichment sites. Mr Grossi maintains that access to these locations is required under the terms of a signed US-Iran framework deal.
While Iranian officials have previously suggested that no formal consensus has been reached regarding site monitoring, the IAEA maintains that the inspections are going to happen. The international watchdog continues to press for oversight of the facilities despite the ongoing dispute over the framework's implementation.
