IAEA Warns of Iran Nuclear Knowledge Loss When Access Stays Denied

The IAEA warned of an urgent "loss of continuity of knowledge" after Iran denied inspectors access to nuclear facilities bombed by the US and Israel during the 12-day war last June.Director General Rafael Grossi noted that while Iran has allowed inspections of unaffected sites, it continues to withhold access to the Isfahan tunnel complex where 440.9 kg of 60% enriched uranium is stored.Negotiations involving the US and Iran concluded in Geneva without a deal as Washington increases its military presence in the region and technical talks prepare to shift to Vienna.Iran maintains its program is peaceful but claims that current safeguards are untenable due to ongoing acts of aggression following the conflict that disrupted international monitoring.
