Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), says inspections of Iran’s nuclear sites are expected to take place, describing the process as “going to happen.” The remarks are presented as the IAEA’s firmest statements so far regarding access to Iran’s facilities, with the timing and scope not detailed in the available reports. The IAEA is responsible for monitoring and verifying nuclear-related activities under international safeguards. According to coverage, the agency’s findings are viewed as important for determining the status of Iran’s nuclear stockpile. Both outlets frame Grossi’s comments as a clearer signal of the IAEA’s intent to conduct inspections, amid ongoing international scrutiny of Iran’s nuclear programme. The statements are therefore positioned as part of the broader efforts to establish verification and reporting related to Iran’s nuclear materials and activities. The reports do not provide additional specifics on which sites would be inspected or when inspections would begin.
