Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has said that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is still not being granted access to inspect the Islamic republic’s nuclear sites, according to state news agency IRNA.

Baqaei has also criticised the nuclear watchdog for its “shortcomings” and urged Director General Rafael Grossi to “focus on his professional responsibilities instead of what he described as ‘campaign-style publicity’“, IRNA adds.
