IAEA Chief Urges Iran to Allow Access to Nuclear Sites Amid Verification Concerns
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi urged Iran to grant immediate access to its nuclear facilities for verification, citing the agency's inability to inspect key sites since Israeli and US strikes in June 2025 and the recent conflict. The IAEA highlighted Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and noted no evidence of repairs to damaged sites. Iran criticized the UN Security Council for a perceived double standard, while the resolution referring Iran for non-compliance faces veto power from China and Russia.
