Despite concerns raised by the UN, Iran is expected to move ahead with curtailing the International Atomic Energy Agency’s ability to monitor its nuclear programme.
In an effort to keep its surveillance cameras on at Iran’s nuclear sites, director general of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi is in Tehran and held a number of high-level meetings on Sunday, including with the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation, Ali Akbar Salehi.
Ahead of his visit, Mr Grossi said that he is aiming to ensure “essential verification activities … this is in everybody’s interest”. However, the Iranian government has said that it will cut off access to the cameras used by the UN, in adherence with its parliament’s decision. Last December, Iran’s parliament passed a bill that suspends part of the UN inspections of its nuclear sites if European countries do not provide sanctions relief by this Tuesday.
