Iran is set to host a visit from a senior official of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Monday, marking the first such visit since Iran suspended cooperation with the agency last month. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that while the visit is pre-planned and part of ongoing technical and expert-level negotiations, no inspections or visits to nuclear sites will take place during this visit. Araghchi emphasized that Iran will not permit nuclear site inspections until a new framework for cooperation with the IAEA is established, reflecting changes in their relationship following recent damage to Iran's nuclear facilities caused by strikes. He stated that this framework must consider the current conditions at Iran's nuclear sites and comply with Iranian parliamentary law. The Iranian government has urged the IAEA to define inspection protocols specifically for the sites affected by attacks. Despite the refusal to allow inspections, Iran and the IAEA have agreed to continue consultations regarding Iran's nuclear program. The talks are described by Iranian officials as technical and complicated, underscoring the cautious approach Tehran is taking in its dealings with the UN nuclear watchdog amid ongoing tensions.
