Iran has denounced a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expressing concern over its lack of access to Iranian nuclear sites, a “tool of political pressure”, AFP reports.

“If the agency wants to be part of a diplomatic solution, it must refrain from turning a technical report into a tool of political pressure,” Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi writes on X.

In a confidential report seen by AFP on Thursday, the IAEA stated that the lack of access to nuclear sites in Iran constitutes a “proliferation concern”.
