Iran has announced that it will no longer permit International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi to enter the country or allow the installation of surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities. This decision was confirmed by Hamid Reza Haji Babaei, the Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, and the Iranian Foreign Minister. The move comes after Iran reportedly discovered sensitive information about its nuclear sites in documents obtained from Israel. Iranian officials have cited these findings as the reason for barring Grossi and restricting IAEA monitoring activities. The ban effectively blocks the top nuclear watchdog from inspecting Iran's atomic activities and installing video surveillance at its nuclear plants.
