"Speaking to the IAEA Board of Governors on Wednesday, Director General Rafael Grossi provided details of the agreement announced a day earlier, saying it includes all facilities and installations in Iran and contemplates the required reporting on all the attacked facilities, including the nuclear material present. Iran and the agency will now resume cooperation in a respective and comprehensive way, he added, despite the technical nature of the document's contents."
"However, shortly afterwards, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the deal does not guarantee inspectors access to Iranian nuclear sites and Tehran wants further talks on how inspections are to be carried out. I have to reiterate the agreement does not currently provide access to IAEA inspectors, apart from the Bushehr nuclear plant, Araghchi told state TV in an interview. Based on reports that Iran will issue in the future, the nature of access will have to be discussed at an appropriate time, he added."
The International Atomic Energy Agency said it secured a deal offering access to all of Iran's nuclear facilities and reporting on attacked facilities including nuclear material present. Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA after attacks by Israel and the United States on its nuclear facilities in June. Director General Rafael Grossi said the agreement contemplates comprehensive and respective cooperation despite technical document details. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the agreement does not currently provide access to IAEA inspectors apart from the Bushehr plant and that access modalities must be further negotiated and approved by the Supreme National Security Council. During its most recent inspection, the IAEA was not given access to key sites struck by Israel and the US.
