Iran blocks IAEA inspectors

Iran continues to block access for inspectors at its nuclear sites that were attacked. Mohammad Eslami, the country’s nuclear chief, states that these locations are not yet fully secure. With Iran still at war, he says entry is not permitted at this time. Before any inspections can occur, Tehran wants the IAEA to establish specific rules for examining nuclear facilities that have been struck. There is another factor involved as well. Iran believes the United States and Israel are pushing for these visits primarily to assess the actual damage caused by their strikes. For now, inspectors are not getting anywhere near those sites.
