"Tehran and the UN nuclear inspectorate have reached an agreement that will allow UN inspectors to return to inspect all of Iran's nuclear sites, including those bombed by Israel and the US in June. The breakthrough, confirmed by Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, came during a three-hour meeting on Monday between Grossi and the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, in Cairo."
"This means that everything must be approved by the supreme national security council. Araghchi said the approval of the SNSC had been sought and secured. Grossi underlined how difficult it had been to reach an agreement since the Iranian parliament had passed a law banning the return of the inspectors without guarantees about the future safety of Iran's nuclear sites."
Tehran and the UN nuclear inspectorate agreed that UN inspectors may return to inspect all Iranian nuclear sites, including those attacked by Israel and the US. Rafael Grossi confirmed the agreement after a three-hour meeting with Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi in Cairo. The return of inspectors is a precondition for European leaders to delay plans to reimpose wide UN sanctions. The full text of the agreement will not be published. Iranian parliamentarians sought access but parliament is in recess. The agreement explicitly accepts parliamentary law, requires SNSC approval, and provides access and reporting on attacked facilities and nuclear material.
