The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says it won’t impede the UN nuclear watchdog’s access and inspection of its sites.
According to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) earlier this week, Iran has agreed to tougher monitoring by the agency at its Fordo site after it greatly accelerated uranium enrichment to close to weapons-grade there.
Last week, the IAEA reported that Iran had multiplied the pace of its enrichment up to 60 percent purity, close to the 90% of weapons-grade, at Fordo.
“We have not created and will not create any obstacles for the agency’s inspections and access,” Atomic Energy Organization head Mohammad Eslami is quoted as saying by Iranian media.
“We operate within the framework of safeguards, and the agency also acts according to regulations—no more, no less,” he adds.

This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
