The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has demanded that Iran grant inspectors access to key nuclear sites, including an underground enrichment facility in Isfahan, as reported by The National and Al Jazeera. According to the reports, Iran has stated that nuclear inspections cannot resume due to the threat of military strikes against it. The agency stated that it lacks sufficient information regarding the nature of operations at the Isfahan facility or the status of its enriched uranium reserves. Further details have not yet been released.
