UN nuclear watchdog urges Iran to resume stalled nuclear talks ‘now’

WASHINGTON, 13 June 2022, (TON): The International Atomic Energy Agency urged Iran to resume talks now to avoid a crisis that could make it extremely more difficult to salvage the 2015 nuclear accord.

Iran this week disconnected some cameras allowing international inspectors to monitor its nuclear activities in response to a Western resolution passed June 8 in which the UN agency denounced Tehran’s lack of cooperation.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in an interview “twenty-seven surveillance cameras have been removed.”

He added “recent history tells us that it is never a good thing to start saying to international inspectors, go home... things get much more problematic.”

The 2015 deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, gave Iran relief from crippling economic sanctions in exchange for curbs on its nuclear activities.
