Iran Nuclear Chief Barred from IAEA Conference over UN Travel Ban
Iran's nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami was barred from attending the International Atomic Energy Agency's annual conference in Vienna due to a UN travel ban. Austria sought a waiver to allow his attendance but was denied by a UN sanctions committee, with the United States opposing the exemption. Iran condemned the decision as a breach of its rights and summoned Austria's charge d'affaires. The exclusion occurs amid heightened tensions following a 2025 conflict that limited IAEA access to Iranian nuclear sites and concerns over uranium enrichment levels.
