UN watchdog says Iran has nothing to gain from halting nuclear inspections

VIENNA — Iran does not have anything to gain from ending inspections of nuclear facilities, the head of the UN’s nuclear agency tells AFP.

Responding to calls by Iranian MPs to end inspections following the assassination of a top nuclear scientist, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi says it is “essential to give the world the necessary and credible assurances that there is no deviation from the nuclear program to military uses.”
