EU Urges Iran to Allow Immediate Return of Nuclear Inspectors

The European Union has criticized Iran for withdrawing accreditation from several United Nations nuclear inspectors, a move that has a severe impact on the International Atomic Energy Agency's ability to conduct verification activities, including monitoring the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The EU has called on Iran to reconsider its decision, while IAEA chief Rafael Grossi described it as disproportionate and unprecedented, hampering the agency's inspections in Iran. Iran's Foreign Ministry said the decision was in response to political abuses by the US, France, Germany, and the UK, all key actors in the JCPOA.

The European Union has expressed deep concern over Iran's decision to withdraw accreditation from several inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warning that it will seriously hinder the agency's ability to monitor Iran's nuclear program. The move is seen as a retaliation against the US, France, Germany, and Britain for alleged political abuses. The EU has urged Iran to reconsider its decision without delay, as efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal have so far been unsuccessful.

US and Russia engage in nuclear arms control negotiations amidst tensions.

The US has revoked the visas of Russian nuclear inspectors, denied pending applications for new monitors, and canceled standard clearances for Russian aircraft to enter US airspace in response to Russia's suspension of the New START nuclear treaty. The State Department said it was taking those steps and others in response to Russia's "ongoing violations" of New START, the last arms control treaty remaining between the two countries, which are currently at severe odds over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
