Tehran’s decision to no longer allow the most experienced IAEA specialists into the country was a “very serious blow” to the authority’s capacity, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi complained in Vienna on Wednesday.
Grossi had already discussed the dispute over the inspectors in a report to IAEA member states last week. On Wednesday he spoke publicly about the problem on the sidelines of an IAEA conference. A third of the most experienced inspectors assigned to Iran can no longer work in Iran, Grossi said, without giving exact figures.
As the German Press Agency has learned from Western diplomatic circles, Tehran has primarily rejected IAEA experts on uranium enrichment.
As Grossi’s latest Iran report shows, Iran already has 128 kilograms of highly enriched uranium with a purity level close to nuclear weapons. According to experts, it takes about 50 kilograms to make an atomic bomb.
Tehran denies that it wants to build nuclear weapons. Iran has been ignoring an international agreement to curb its nuclear program since 2019, after the United States withdrew from the pact a year earlier.
