Iran reports that a final cooperation agreement with the IAEA has not been approved and that views are being exchanged. Inspectors returned to Iran with consent from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, but Tehran says their return does not equate to full cooperation. Fuel changing at the Bushehr reactor must occur under IAEA supervision. Iran suspended cooperation after a 12-day war with Israel in June, citing the IAEA’s failure to condemn Israeli and US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites; Bushehr was not attacked. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi confirmed inspectors’ presence and said practical modalities are under discussion. Tehran met European powers in Geneva and warned that reimposed JCPOA snapback sanctions would have consequences.
Iran says the return of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) does not mark the resumption of full cooperation with the United Nations nuclear watchdog. Inspectors from the IAEA have entered Iran with the consent of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Iran's foreign minister said on Wednesday. No final text has yet been approved on the new cooperation framework with the IAEA and views are being exchanged, Abbas Araghchi said, in comments cited by the state broadcaster.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi confirmed on Tuesday that a team of inspectors was back in Iran. When it comes to Iran, as you know, there are many facilities. Some were attacked, some were not, Grossi told Fox News in an interview aired on Tuesday. So we are discussing what kind of practical modalities can be implemented in order to facilitate the restart of our work there.
