Grossi pointed to Iran's obligations to allow the IAEA to visit nuclear facilities.


As a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Iran has international obligations that include the admission of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the country's nuclear facilities. This was announced on June 26 by the head of the organization, Rafael Grossi.
"The agency's presence in Iran is not some kind of generous gesture, it is an international responsibility. Iran is a party to the Treaty on the Non—Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and, therefore, should have an inspection system," Grossi told RFI in response to a question about whether the discussion between the IAEA and Iran was ongoing.
According to Grossi, Iran's legal obligations cannot be suspended unilaterally, as in such a case "we would be on the verge of a new crisis."
"Tehran will put itself 'outside the framework of international law' in the event that the IAEA staff is denied access to nuclear facilities," the agency's head concluded.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed to a challenge to the NPT regime due to the actions of the United States and Israel in Iran. According to Maria Zakharova, an official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran's nuclear facilities, which are under the control of the IAEA, have become "an undisguised challenge to the system."
