IAEA inspects one of two sites in Iran after confrontation

VIENNA (Reuters) – Iran has allowed the UN nuclear control body to access one of the two sites it agreed last week to grant access after prolonged stagnation, while Tehran’s enriched uranium reserves are even higher, according to quarterly reports from the agency on Friday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency inspected one of the sites and took environmental samples, according to one of two reports received through Reuters, referring to samples of nuclear curtain lines that may have been present.

Agency inspectors will go to the other site “at the end of September 2020 on a date already agreed with Iran, to take environmental samples,” the report said.
