Iran Says It Will Not Allow UN Nuclear Inspectors Into Struck Sites

Iranian Foreign Minister Esmaeil Baghaei said Tuesday that Tehran has no intention of allowing inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit nuclear sites that were attacked during the conflict.

The remark indicates a hardening Iranian position on a key condition tied to any agreement over the nuclear issue. Baghaei’s statement directly concerns access to facilities that were hit in the fighting, and it suggests Iran is rejecting one of the monitoring demands associated with the talks.

The report gives no further details on the sites involved, the timing of the attacks, or any immediate response from the IAEA or the United States. It does, however, make clear that Tehran is setting a firmer line on inspection access as discussions around a potential deal continue.
