Iran says no new commitments on nuclear sites after Vance says inspectors to be invited back
Iran announced today that it has no intention of making any new commitments regarding its nuclear sites after the U.N. nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, announced that Iran had agreed to invite inspectors back to its nuclear facilities. The statement from Iran comes amidst ongoing international tensions over the 2015 nuclear deal and Iran’s compliance with its provisions.
Rafael Grossi, the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stated that Iran had agreed to allow IAEA inspectors access to their nuclear facilities, reversing some of the restrictions imposed recently. Grossi’s announcement followed talks in Tehran with the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami.
On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh clarified that while Iran will not be making any new commitments regarding its nuclear sites, it will continue to engage in discussions with the IAEA. Khatibzadeh stressed that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful and reiterated Iran’s commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The developments come at a crucial time as negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), have been ongoing. The agreement has been on the brink of collapse since the U.S. withdrawal in 2018 and subsequent reimposition of sanctions on Iran.
The situation remains delicate, with international stakeholders closely monitoring any progress in the talks and Iran’s actions regarding its nuclear program.
