Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it cannot resume nuclear inspections due to ongoing threats from the United States, particularly regarding military actions targeting its nuclear facilities. A confidential IAEA report highlights Iran's refusal to grant access to sites affected by airstrikes during the June 2025 conflict with the US and Israel. The IAEA has expressed urgent concern over the lack of information regarding Iran's nuclear stockpile, which includes near weapons-grade uranium. Iran has also criticized a recent US offer of a reward for information on its nuclear program, emphasizing the need for confidentiality in IAEA operations. The only site inspected since the conflict is the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which uses low-enriched uranium. The IAEA is prepared to resume safeguards activities in Iran but requires cooperation from Tehran to do so.
