Iran says no new commitments on nuclear sites after Vance says inspectors to be invited back
Iran has declared that it will not be making any new commitments regarding its nuclear sites, following a statement from UN nuclear watchdog chief Richard Vance that inspectors are set to be invited back to the country.
The announcement was made by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Abbas Mousavi, who stated that Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is based on the safeguards agreements, and there are no new commitments to be made. This comes after Vance mentioned that Iran had agreed to allow IAEA inspectors access to two suspected former nuclear sites.
The United States, on the other hand, has expressed support for the IAEA’s efforts to gain access to the sites in question. The U.S. State Department reiterated Vance’s statement, urging Iran to provide the necessary cooperation.
Iran and the U.S. have been at odds over Iran’s nuclear program, with the U.S. previously withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and imposing heavy sanctions on Iran. The issue has been a point of contention between the two nations, with Iran insisting on its rights to a peaceful nuclear program and the U.S. raising concerns about the potential military dimensions of Iran’s activities.
The latest development indicates a continued standoff between Iran and the international community regarding the inspection of its nuclear sites. While Iran remains firm on not making new commitments, the IAEA’s attempts to gain access to certain sites will likely be closely monitored in the coming days.
