Almaty. August 23. Silkroadnews – The United States suggested the IAEA to check Iran’s military sites for compliance with the nuclear agreement, Reuters reported.
“The United States wants to know if the United Nations atomic watchdog plans to inspect Iranian military sites to verify Tehran’s compliance with a 2015 nuclear deal”, agency quoted the U.S. ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley.
With this it is noted that, according to N.Haley, the UN has the right to inspect “suspicious objects” that used to have problems related. At the same time, she said she intends to meet the IAEA representatives “to ask questions, not to push the IAEA to do anything”.
In turn, the IAEA representative said the IAEA cannot immediately comment on the situation and does not plan to make any statements about this in the near future.
Reportedly, the Iranian authorities have flatly rejected to provide international inspectors with access to their military sites and stressed that any such move could lead to severe consequences.
In response to that N. Haley accused Iran of trying to hide something from inspectors.
As the publication reminds, the other day Iran announced its readiness to resume production of highly-enriched uranium within 5 days if the agreement on the Iranian nuclear program is revoked, while a little earlier the Iranian president Hassan Rouhani warned that Iran could abandon the nuclear agreement “within hours” if the United States introduces new sanctions.
“Under U.S. law, the State Department must notify Congress every 90 days of Iran’s compliance with the nuclear deal. The next deadline is October, and Trump has said he thinks by then the United States will declare Iran to be non-compliant”, report said.
The most of the U.S. and Western sanctions were removed 18 months ago in the framework of a nuclear deal, however, Iran continues to be subject to an arms embargo and other restrictions that are not part of the deal.
