Iran Nuclear Chief Barred from Attending IAEA Conference in Vienna Due to UN Travel Ban
Iran's atomic chief, Mohammad Eslami, is expected to miss the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conference in Vienna due to a UN travel ban. Austria's request for a sanctions waiver to allow his attendance was denied, reportedly following US pressure. This absence highlights ongoing tensions between Iran and Western countries amid strained nuclear diplomacy. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful, while the US insists Iran must not develop nuclear weapons and must cooperate fully with the IAEA.
