"I'm afraid the resolution will have its own consequences, Iran's ambassador to the IAEA, Reza Najafi, told reporters after the vote. Asked what those were, he said, We will announce the consequences later. We have performed a number of inspections, but we have not been able to go to the attack sites. I hope we will be able. Indeed, we have to go because this is part of Iran's commitments, Grossi told reporters on Wednesday, after opening the regular board meeting of the Vienna-based agency."
"The International Atomic Energy Agency adopted a resolution that called on Iran to provide it with access and information regarding its nuclear programme, as required under UN resolutions. The vote on Thursday came a day after the head of the United Nations global nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, renewed his call for Tehran to allow inspections at key nuclear sites attacked by Israel and the United States in June."
The IAEA board adopted a resolution urging Iran to provide prompt, precise information on nuclear material accountancy and safeguarded facilities and to grant all necessary access. The vote followed Director General Rafael Grossi's renewed call for Iran to permit inspections at sites attacked by Israel and the United States in June. Israel began attacks on June 13 after the agency found Iran noncompliant, prompting Iranian accusations that the watchdog enabled a 12-day conflict that killed over 1,000 people and caused billions in damage. The resolution passed 19-3-12; Russia, China and Niger opposed. Iran warned of unspecified consequences and said inspectors have not been allowed to visit attack sites.
