IAEA Chief: Interim Deal Grants UN Inspectors Access to Iran Nuclear Sites

New York. The interim peace agreement between the United States and Iran has arranged for United Nations inspectors to have access to Iran's nuclear sites, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Friday. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi, speaking at a press conference in Japan, said – 'We need inspection to monitor, there is no other option.'

According to him, the recent temporary agreement between the United States and Iran clearly states that Iran's nuclear program will be monitored by the IAEA. For which site inspection is mandatory.

US President Donald Trump has said that Iran has allowed nuclear inspection. However, Iran has denied such claims, stating that there is no concrete plan to grant new visits to United Nations inspectors. Commenting on the differing claims of both sides, Grossi indicated that the situation is still unclear, calling it a kind of war of words here.
