Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has called on Iran to re-engage in discussions regarding nuclear inspections, particularly at sites that were bombed by the US and Israel last year. Iran has yet to clarify the status of nuclear materials, including uranium enriched to nearly weapons-grade levels, at these sites. Grossi highlighted the importance of restoring communication, which he described as 'broken', to facilitate effective inspections. Meanwhile, the US, along with Britain, France, and Germany, is pushing for a resolution at the IAEA's Board of Governors that would require Iran to provide detailed information about the bombed sites and the enriched uranium without delay. Iran's mission to the IAEA has condemned this resolution, stating that it shifts blame from the perpetrators of the attacks to Iran. The ongoing military exchanges between Israel and Iran further complicate the situation, posing challenges to diplomatic efforts aimed at addressing Iran's nuclear program.
