 Iran rejects IAEA site visits as France condemns threats

Investing.com -- The French government on Monday condemned what it described as "threats" made against the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nuclear energy watchdog, while reiterating its call for Iran to guarantee the safety of IAEA staff on Iranian territory.

This statement comes after Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi indicated on Friday that Tehran may reject any request by the IAEA head for visits to Iranian nuclear sites.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi was quoted on Sunday saying Iran could be producing enriched uranium within a few months.

His statement raises questions about the effectiveness of U.S. strikes aimed at destroying Tehran’s nuclear program.

The tensions between Iran and the IAEA continue as international concerns grow over Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the country’s willingness to allow independent verification of its nuclear activities.
