US-Iran MOU gives nuclear inspectors access to sites, UN watchdog chief insists

TOKYO, Japan — The US-Iran memorandum of understanding gives inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog access to Iran, the agency’s chief says, after Tehran indicated that key sites would remain off-limits until a final deal with Washington is reached and sanctions are lifted.

“There is an agreement, and to comply with that agreement, the IAEA will have to have access and inspect,” International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi says at a news conference in Japan. “We hope to be there soon.”
