Iran says the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), will not be allowed to inspect nuclear sites damaged by recent bombings. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei says Iran has not held a meeting with the IAEA director general and has no plans for the agency to inspect Iran’s nuclear facilities that were damaged. The statement frames the bombings as the result of “US and Zionist military aggression.”
Across the reports, Iran presents its position as a clear refusal of inspection-related access in connection with the damaged sites. The accounts also indicate that Iran does not describe any current discussions with the IAEA leadership that would lead to inspections. The reports do not provide additional details about the specific sites targeted, the timing or extent of the damage, or any countermeasures by the IAEA or other parties. Overall, the available information focuses on Iran’s stated position that it will not cooperate with IAEA inspections for the bombed facilities, while confirming that no prior meeting with the IAEA director general has taken place and that no inspection plan exists.
