IAEA Inspections Loiter as Iran Talks Stall

UN nuclear chief Rafael Grossi signals imminent IAEA inspections of Iran’s enrichment sites, a move critical to verifying Iran’s nuclear program amid rising tensions since 2025. Iran insists its activities are peaceful but enriches uranium to levels rarely seen in civilian programs. Tehran counters that inspections can’t happen until a final deal is signed, escalating the “war of words” between the IAEA and Iran. While the IAEA has access to some sites like Bushehr, access to enrichment facilities remains key to tracking uranium stockpiles and centrifuge activity — and experts fear Iran may be hiding materials. US-Iran talks are set to resume, with Pakistan mediating, as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio tours the Gulf, meeting with UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain leaders.
