EU Calls on Iran to Allow IAEA Inspectors Entry

The European Union has called on Iran to reconsider its decision to bar multiple International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors from overseeing Tehran's atomic activities, emphasizing that such oversight is a crucial part of the Iran nuclear deal. Iran's move was in response to a call by the United States, Britain, France, and Germany for Tehran to cooperate with the IAEA on issues including explaining uranium traces found at undeclared sites. The EU expressed concern over the impact of Iran's decision on the IAEA's ability to conduct verification activities and urged Iran to reverse its decision promptly.
