IAEA is continuing controls in Iran to a limited extent for the time being

For the time being, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) can continue controls on the Iranian nuclear program. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi negotiated this with the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency during a visit to Tehran, as he said on Sunday evening after his return to Vienna Airport.

“We have a reasonable result,” said Grossi. However, the inspectors would not have the same access as before.  The  technical agreement is initially valid for three months, said Grossi. He hoped a more comprehensive agreement could be reached by then.

 The  reason for Grossi’s trip was the announced restriction of IAEA inspections of nuclear facilities in the country by Iran.
