UN inspectors can resume work at Iran nuclear sites after breakthrough deal

Source: The Guardian [UK]

“Tehran and the UN nuclear inspectorate have reached an agreement that will allow UN inspectors to return to inspect all of Iran’s nuclear sites, including those bombed by Israel and the US in June. The breakthrough, confirmed by Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, came during a three-hour meeting on Monday between Grossi and the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, in Cairo. Agreement on the return of the UN inspectors is one of the preconditions set by European leaders for them to defer a plan to reimpose sweeping UN sanctions on Iran at the end of this month. … One of Iran’s concerns is that the IAEA, an agency distrusted by Iranian conservatives, would feed the information it garnered to Israel or the US on the state of its nuclear plans and this would be used to refine further military assaults on Iran’s nuclear sites.” (09/10/25)
