Iranian security guards at its nuclear sites have sexually harassed female inspectors of the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA. The agency has protested. Iran claims it had to tighten security.
Reported efforts by the International Atomic Energy Agency to clarify access arrangements for Tehran’s nuclear program may be getting the cold shoulder.
Iran and the IAEA have agreed to extend for a further month an interim arrangement for agency access to Tehran’s nuclear sites, IAEA head Rafael Mariano Grossi said in Vienna Monday.
Iran said May 23 that IAEA access to monitoring cameras at nuclear sites have ended with the deadline of a temporary deal. No word on an extension that would help talks in Vienna.
Iran's foreign ministry has indicated that Tehran might be willing to extend a nuclear monitoring agreement with IAEA beyond May 21, if talks in Vienna move in "the right path".
A top hardliner in Iran's parliament has threatened more limitations on monitoring by the United Nations nuclear watchdog if no agreement is reached in nuclear talks underway in Vienna.
Iran's nuclear chief says Tehran has sent a letter to the IAEA, that if it adopts a resolution against Iran for limiting inspections, Iran would show "an appropriate response".
Iran’s parliament rejected the agreement reached with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), over co-operation with the agency after Iran reduces access February 23.
Rafael Grossi, the director of UN's nuclear watchdog, IAEA, said after a trip to Tehran that his agency will receive less access in Iran to monitor nuclear activities.
