The UN nuclear watchdog head has demanded the return of agency inspectors to Iran’s nuclear sites in a bid to “account for” its highly enriched uranium stockpiles following attacks by Israel and the United States on its atomic programme, AFP reports.
To be able to “return to the negotiating table”, “allow IAEA inspectors, the guardians on our on behalf of the NPT to go back to Iran’s nuclear sites and account for the stockpiles of uranium” including the “400 kilograms enriched to 60 percent”, Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told an emergency meeting of the organisation’s headquarters in Vienna.
He added that Tehran had sent him a letter on June 13 announcing the implementation of “special measures to protect nuclear equipment and materials”.
