No entry for UN's nuke watchdog? Iran shuts door on IAEA inspectors at bombed nuclear sites

Iran has rejected reports that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been granted access to nuclear sites damaged during the recent conflict. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said access to facilities such as Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan remains prohibited under Iranian law, insisting only the Supreme National Security Council can authorize inspections. Tehran also stressed that negotiations with the United States remain limited to the existing 14-point Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), rejecting any additional demands. The dispute comes amid ongoing efforts to implement the agreement, with Iran maintaining that sanctions relief and mutual commitments must come before any expanded inspections.
