Iran has denied inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency access to several nuclear sites struck during a 12-day conflict involving Israel and the United States in June, according to a confidential report circulated among member states. The development has left the UN watchdog unable to verify the status of Tehran’s uranium enrichment activities or confirm the size and location of its enriched uranium stockpile. In its latest assessment, the Vienna-based nuclear monit

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has issued a stark warning about the narrowing window for diplomacy between the United States and Iran, emphasizing the urgent need for an agreement to prevent further military escalation.
