UN Says Iran Pledges More Access For Inspectors

VIENNA (AP) — The head of the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog says Iran has pledged to restore cameras and other monitoring equipment at its nuclear sites. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said Saturday that Iran also agreed to boost inspections at a facility where particles of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade were recently detected. But a joint statement issued by the agency and Iran’s nuclear body only gave vague assurances that Tehran would address longstanding complaints about the inspectors’ access to its disputed nuclear program. Grossi visited Tehran days after his Vienna-based agency reported that uranium particles enriched up to 83.7%, just short of weapons-grade, were found at an underground nuclear site in Iran.
