Amid ongoing talks

IAEA inspectors visited Iran nuclear site

Foreign ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei confirms inspectors' visit but claims attacks by the US and the Zionist regime on our nuclear facilities have complicated implementation of monitoring commitments

Iran

As negotiations continue between Washington and Tehran, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei disclosed Monday that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency visited the Bushehr nuclear reactor in recent days. According to Baghaei, Iran continues to fulfill its commitments to the IAEA under the nuclear agreement from which the US withdrew in 2018.

"There was monitoring at Bushehr several days ago, and our representatives in Vienna are in professional and continuous contact with the International Atomic Energy Agency," he said in a statement to Iranian media.

"We have not suspended our commitments, but the attacks by the US and the Zionist regime on our nuclear facilities have complicated the implementation of monitoring commitments.

Those who must bear responsibility are those who attack Iran, who have disrupted the monitoring arrangements long as this situation continues, we cannot cooperate with the agency as happened in normal days."

Baghaei also addressed the ongoing negotiations with the US, claiming there is "an attempt to justify the illegal war on Iran after the loss in the midterm elections." At the same time, Baghaei said the "most logical" proposal Iran has presented is a shortened framework for opening the Strait of Hormuz that can be implemented within two days. According to him, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi presented this proposal last week. It was originally planned for implementation within a week, shortened to five days as part of a Qatari proposal, and now shortened further to two days.
