IAEA Urges Access to Iran Sites

In the wake of unexpected U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has called for immediate access to the impacted sites. The agency’s chief expressed deep concerns over the potential “very significant” damage caused by the raids, which targeted uranium enrichment sites over the weekend.

The IAEA, a UN-backed nuclear watchdog, aims to assess the extent of the destruction and ensure that nuclear materials remain secure. The agency’s call for access comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, following the strikes that have further destabilized the region.

The United States has yet to provide a detailed account of the operation, adding to the urgency of the IAEA’s request. Meanwhile, international observers are closely monitoring the situation, as the potential for escalation looms large. The IAEA remains committed to facilitating dialogue and ensuring that nuclear activities within Iran remain peaceful and transparent.
