Iran and IAEA in new disagreement over nuclear monitoring

The nuclear watchdog says its inspectors denied access to a nuclear site in Karaj but Tehran says it’s not part of deal.
Tehran, Iran – Iran and the global nuclear watchdog have found themselves in disagreement over the contents of an understanding reached earlier this month as part of efforts to restore the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran decided to restrict international inspections of its nuclear sites in 2019 agreed as part of the landmark deal after the United States withdrew a year earlier. It, however, later granted limited access to inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The IAEA said on Sunday its inspectors had been denied access to a centrifuge manufacturing site in Karaj, near the capital Tehran. Iran has boosted its nuclear activity in the wake of the US withdrawal from the deal.
