IAEA chief, Trump says Iran agreed to nuclear inspections, Tehran denies deal
US President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed to allow long-term nuclear inspections, a claim Tehran has rejected, as he also addressed US naval positioning near the Strait of Hormuz.
The International Atomic Energy Agency will conduct inspections of nuclear facilities in Iran, the nuclear watchdog's chief, Rafael Grossi, stated in an interview with Tokyo-based news outlet NHK on Tuesday.
Grossi specified that the IAEA's priority is confirming the location of Iran's enriched uranium. While the IAEA has an idea of where the uranium is, Grossi said the agency still needs Iran's confirmation, according to NHK.
The IAEA intends to coordinate with Iran soon to set dates and details of inspections, and will study how to get to the nuclear material within storage facilities that have been attacked during the war, Grossi told NHK.
