The UN nuclear watchdog said it has never been able to inspect a uranium enrichment plant at Isfahan, which Iran announced more than a year ago, and it is increasingly concerned about the lack of access. The BBC reported the watchdog’s statement, noting that the facility has remained out of reach for inspectors since its declaration. The inability to verify the site limits the agency’s capacity to assess whether Iran is complying with its nuclear obligations. Officials said the continued denial of access fuels uncertainty about the plant’s operations and its role in the country’s nuclear programme.
Why it matters
Without inspection, the international community cannot confirm the plant’s purpose, raising concerns over nuclear compliance.
