Iran to Invite IAEA Inspectors as US-Iran Talks Progress in Switzerland

Iran plans to invite IAEA inspectors to its key nuclear sites, with coordination for access to occur soon after the latest round of US-Iran talks in Switzerland, though Iran hasn’t confirmed specifics. The talks produced a 60‑day roadmap toward a final deal, plus a high‑level committee and working groups on nuclear issues, sanctions, and dispute resolution, and a deconfliction line for the Strait of Hormuz alongside a Lebanon ceasefire deconfliction mechanism. While progress is noted, a final agreement remains uncertain and technical negotiations will continue; there’s also mention of using frozen funds to aid Iranians, though no funds have been released yet.

Iran's Unprecedented Move: Barring Inspectors Draws International Condemnation

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has condemned Iran's decision to bar multiple inspectors, calling it "disproportionate and unprecedented." Iran's move is in response to a call by the US, UK, France, and Germany for Tehran to cooperate with the IAEA on issues including explaining uranium traces found at undeclared sites. While member states can veto inspectors under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the IAEA stated that Iran's decision goes beyond normal practice and affects the agency's ability to conduct effective inspections. Grossi called on Iran to reconsider its decision and return to cooperation with the agency.
