Iran Denies Scheduled IAEA Inspections of Bombed Nuclear Sites Amid US Talks
Iran has stated that no visit is scheduled for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to access nuclear sites bombed by the United States during the 2025 conflict involving Israel and the US. This contradicts remarks by US Vice President JD Vance, who indicated an agreement for such inspections following talks in Switzerland. Iran cites security concerns and has suspended cooperation with the IAEA regarding these damaged sites, though it continues limited engagement under a separate framework.
