US EditionIAEA Urges Iran to Step up Cooperation
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warns Iran to enhance cooperation with UN inspectors as key nuclear sites remain inaccessible following U.S. bombings since June hostilities.
- On Nov 5, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said Iran must `seriously improve` cooperation with United Nations inspectors after about a dozen inspections denied access to Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
- After the IAEA board's finding, Iranian officials blamed the IAEA for justifying Israel's bombing, while Rafael Grossi said Iran must comply despite the agency's efforts to approach bumpy relations with understanding.
- The IAEA has been relying on satellite imagery to observe bombed nuclear sites in Iran, and Rafael Grossi said movement near the enriched uranium stockpile did not imply enrichment activity.
- Rafael Grossi warned he would have to report losing visibility if Iran restricts access, while Esmaeil Baghaei said Grossi was fully aware of Iran's peaceful nuclear programme.
- Amid the hostilities, Grossi insisted war does not create an exemption, saying `You cannot expect the IAEA to say, 'OK, since there was a war you are in a different category'` and stressing Iran's obligations under the NPT.
