Washington: A team of UN inspectors is “back in Iran,” according to the chief of the organization’s nuclear watchdog. This is the first time the inspectors have been inside Iran since US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities this year. After a 12-day conflict with Israel in June, Iran halted collaboration with the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency, citing the IAEA’s inaction in denouncing US and Israeli attacks on its nuclear installations.
In a Tuesday interview with Fox News’ “The Story,” Director General Rafael Grossi stated, “Now the first team of IAEA inspectors is back in Iran, and we are about to restart. As you well aware, there are numerous facilities in Iran. “Some people were attacked, while others weren’t,” Grossi stated.
“Therefore, we are talking about what kinds of… realistic modalities can be put in place to help us resume our work there. The revelation was made during Tuesday’s Geneva discussions between Iran and Britain, France, and Germany. Tehran is trying to avoid a retaliation of penalties that the European countries have threatened to apply under a moribund nuclear deal from 2015.
It is “high time” for the European trio “to make the right choice and give diplomacy time and space,” according to Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, who was present at the discussions.
