Iran and UN appear at odds over nuclear deal

Agreement potentially paves way for resumed cooperation after Israel-Iran conflict sparked rift between Tehran and UN.
The United Nations nuclear watchdog and Iran have offered seemingly contradictory statements regarding a deal to resume cooperation on Tehran’s nuclear programme.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Wednesday that it had secured a deal offering it access to all of Iran’s nuclear facilities. However, shortly afterwards, Tehran insisted that the agreement does not guarantee inspections.
The deal, announced on Tuesday, was seen as capping months of tension. Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA after attacks by Israel and the United States on its nuclear facilities in June.
Speaking to the IAEA Board of Governors on Wednesday, Director General Rafael Grossi provided details of the agreement announced a day earlier, saying it includes “all facilities and installations in Iran” and “contemplates the required reporting on all the attacked facilities, including the nuclear material present”.
“Iran and the agency will now resume cooperation in a respective and comprehensive way,” he added, despite “the technical nature” of the document’s contents.
