IAEA Prioritizes Inspections of Iranian Nuclear Sites Following US-Israeli Strikes

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has declared its top priority is to dispatch inspectors to Iranian nuclear facilities to assess the impact of recent US and Israeli strikes. IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi emphasized the urgency, stating that inspectors need access to the three key enrichment sites. Grossi highlighted the critical need for diplomacy, urging a return to negotiations and allowing IAEA officials to monitor uranium stockpiles, especially the 60% enriched material. He warned of severe consequences if dialogue fails, potentially leading to the collapse of the global non-proliferation regime. The IAEA views on-site verification as crucial to any future agreements.
