Iran to only accept inspections agreed in 2015 nuclear deal

TEHRAN, 25 August 2022, (TON): Iran will not allow inspections beyond what is in a 2015 nuclear deal, the country’s nuclear chief said “as the United States prepares to respond to a proposal to revive Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.”

Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said “we are committed to inspections in the framework of the nuclear deal that are linked to nuclear restrictions which we have accepted in the past… Not one word more, not one word less.”

A senior US official said “Iran has dropped some of its main demands on resurrecting the deal to rein in Tehran’s nuclear program, including its insistence that international inspectors close some probes of its atomic program, bringing the possibility of an agreement closer.”

Washington aims to respond soon to a draft agreement proposed by the European Union that would bring back the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran that former President Donald Trump abandoned and current President Joe Biden has sought to revive.
