Iran Rejects IAEA Inspection Demands for Bombed nuclear Sites

Iran has said it will not comply with any demands from teh UN’s nuclear watchdog to inspect its bombed nuclear sites, citing the absence of established regulations for inspecting facilities damaged by military strikes.

In June, Israel and the United States carried out significant military strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program, damaging key sites including Natanz, Fordo, and Isfahan. The exact condition of Iran’s facilities after the strikes remains unclear.

Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should formally clarify whether such attacks are authorized. If they are not, he added, the agency should condemn the strikes and provide clear procedures for post-war inspections.

“If there are established procedures for the post-war situation,the Agency should announce them so that we can act accordingly,” Eslami said,according to Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News agency (IRNA).

“But if there are none, our response will be different,” he added.
