The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Monday called for renewed access to Iran’s nuclear sites in order to determine the status of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which is close to weapons-grade levels.
“We need to allow inspectors to return and assess the uranium stockpiles, particularly the 400 kilograms enriched to 60%,” said Rafael Grossi at the opening of an emergency meeting at the agency’s headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
He added that on June 13, Tehran had sent a letter informing the IAEA of the implementation of “special measures to protect nuclear equipment and material.”
