Inspection of Nuclear Sites Will Definitely Happen

IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi has given the clearest indication yet that his team will soon inspect Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. This is considered a key part of the interim agreement between the US and Iran to end the war.

Israel and the US had targeted Iran’s nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — during the 12-day conflict in 2025. Since then, Iran had restricted IAEA access to these sites.

Grossi emphasised that the Memorandum of Understanding signed by both countries clearly states that IAEA will monitor nuclear material and facilities, which requires inspections.

These inspections are crucial for verifying and down-blending Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile.
