JAKARTA - Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi has confirmed that nuclear inspections at Iran's uranium enrichment facilities will continue, despite objections from Tehran.
Grossi rejected Iran's objections regarding the nuclear inspection agreement, which was contained in a memorandum of understanding with the US, while speaking at a press conference at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Japan.
"The agreement explicitly states that nuclear activities to be carried out in relation to nuclear material facilities will be fully supervised by the IAEA," Grossi told reporters.
"Of course, for that, we have to conduct inspections. Whether the inspection is carried out in the next two days, one week, or 10 days is important, but it is not essential. The inspection will still be carried out," he continued as quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Wednesday, June 24.
Earlier on Tuesday (23/6), US President Donald Trump confirmed that Iran would allow nuclear inspectors to enter the country even though Tehran denied it by saying that the inspectors would be on the ground at the right time.
Trump also denied Iran had no scheduled visit for IAEA inspectors, although US Vice President J.D. Vance had announced that Iran had agreed to allow the nuclear inspectors to return to the country.
The United States and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding online last week, launching a 60-day negotiation window to resolve disputes, including the fate of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, nuclear program, and other unresolved issues.
The document containing 14 points calls for an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts - including Lebanon - the lifting of the naval blockade against Iran, and safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
The deal also includes plans for reconstruction and economic development for Iran worth at least $300 billion, an exemption from oil exports, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and a reaffirmation by Tehran that they will not develop nuclear weapons.
