In a bid to improve diplomatic relations, a deputy head of the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is set to visit Tehran for talks. However, Iran has announced that there will be no inspections of its nuclear sites during this visit. The Iranian Foreign Minister stated that the discussions will focus on establishing a new framework for cooperation between Iran and the IAEA. Iran continues to restrict access to its nuclear facilities and has suspended cooperation with the agency until a new agreement is reached. Lawmakers have reiterated this stance, emphasizing that no international body will gain access to Iran’s nuclear sites without a formal deal.
