"In a resolution issued on November 20, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called on Iran to "extend full and prompt cooperation" to the agency, which is seeking clarity on the status of Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles and safeguarded nuclear facilities. Since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, Tehran has not granted IAEA inspectors access to the facilities that were attacked by a US strike in June."
"At the end of September, Russia and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of small-scale nuclear power plants. Two days later, Russian state atomic energy corporation Rosatom finalized a $25 billion (21.4 billion) deal with Tehran to build four nuclear power plants in Iran. "Russia is the most important international partner in Iran's nuclear program," said David Jalilvand, who leads the Berlin-based policy consulting firm Orient Matters."
The IAEA called on Iran to extend full and prompt cooperation to clarify the status of enriched uranium stockpiles and safeguarded nuclear facilities. Since the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, Tehran has denied IAEA inspectors access to facilities struck by a US strike in June. Moscow is expanding nuclear cooperation with Tehran, stating that cooperation has reached an unprecedented level and expressing support for Iran's nuclear program. Russia and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding for small-scale reactors, and Rosatom finalized a $25 billion deal to build four plants. Iran currently operates only the Bushehr plant; a planned second Bushehr reactor remains unbuilt. Observers note Russia has promised more than delivered.
