IAEA says Iran’s nuclear activities must be verified if a permanent ceasefire agreement is reached

# The International Atomic Energy Agency says any US-Iranian agreement to end the Middle Eastern war must include very detailed measures to verify Tehran’s nuclear activities. Iran has not allowed the agency access to its nuclear facilities bombed by Israel and the US during a 12-day war last June, accusing the United Nations body of bias and failing to condemn the strikes. Director general Rafael Grossi says Iran has a very ambitious, wide nuclear programme, which will require the presence of their inspectors if a permanent ceasefire is reached.
