Iran’s nuclear chief said on Wednesday that Iran will not allow inspections beyond the 2015 nuclear deal as it prepares to respond to the United States’ proposal to continue Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.
Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency, said: “We are determined to carry out inspections under the nuclear agreement linked to the nuclear restrictions we have agreed to in the past… Not a word more, not a word less.” A video released by state media.
Iran has withdrawn some of its key demands to maintain a deal aimed at halting Tehran’s nuclear program, including its insistence that international investigators close some investigations into its nuclear power program, a senior US official told Reuters on Monday. He said he was withdrawing and that this brought with it the possibility of a deal. closer.
But Eslami seemed to contradict that, saying that if the 2015 nuclear deal is restarted, investigations should be closed “before implementation day,” the state news agency IRNA reported.
Washington plans to respond soon to a proposal for a European Union draft that would restore the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, which former President Donald Trump abandoned and current President Joe Biden is trying to restart.
Iran has insisted that the nuclear deal can only be saved if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) withdraws its claims about Tehran’s nuclear work. Washington and other Western powers view Tehran’s request as out of scope to maintain the deal.
