JAKARTA - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said its inspectors carried out inspections at Iranian facilities that were not affected by the June attack, but emphasized the need for greater engagement to restore full surveillance.

IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi submitted a report on his agency's efforts to maintain global safety, security and nuclear surveillance at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting on the same day.

Our inspectors have returned to Iran and conducted inspections at facilities that were not affected by the June attack. However, more engagement is needed to return full inspections," Grossi said as quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Wednesday, November 19.

He said the IAEA was still in regular contact with Tehran and continued to work towards a "full recovery" of verification activities as before.

Taking attention to the situation in Ukraine, Grossi said the latest improvements to the Dniprovska and Ferosplavna power lines ended a month without an out-of-fire power supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

"As usual, the IAEA remains focused on delivering results driven by science and cooperation for the benefit of all parties," he said.
