Iran has told the UN nuclear watchdog that discussions on resuming inspections of its nuclear facilities cannot proceed while the country faces threats of further US military attacks, particularly against its nuclear infrastructure. Tehran has also warned that normal monitoring cannot resume until what it describes as the root causes of the current crisis are addressed.
On 13 November, the International Atomic Energy Agency urged Iran to allow nuclear inspections and raised concern about its Isfahan enrichment plant, according to Arab News. BBC News reported that the agency has never inspected the plant, which Iran announced more than a year earlier; Al Jazeera said the watchdog cannot verify whether it contains nuclear material. Fox News reported that Iran said inspections cannot resume while it faces US threats. On 15 November, Middle East Monitor reported that Iran accused the watchdog of being influenced by the US and European countries.
