International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi said Friday that tight oversight is needed in Iran urgently to ensure Tehran does not develop nuclear weapons, according to his office. The statement comes amid ongoing negotiations and mixed signals over the scope of IAEA access to Iranian nuclear facilities.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi on Friday called for urgent, tight oversight in Iran to verify the country is not developing nuclear weapons. The statement, reported by a single Israeli source, provides no additional detail on timing or scope. It follows weeks of mixed signals: President Trump has asserted that Iran will grant IAEA access to bombed nuclear sites, while Tehran has denied such an agreement. The agency has previously warned that time is running out for a verifiable deal. This bulletin is based on a single source; further corroboration is pending.
