Iran: Can't Allow UN Nuclear Inspectors To Visit Its Nuclear Sites

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said his country is unable to allow U.N. nuclear watchdog inspectors to visit its nuclear sites that were attacked by the United States and Israel during the recent war. "How are we supposed to be able to guarantee the safety and security of IAEA inspectors, while our peaceful nuclear facilities have been attacked last Monday, just five or six days ago," said Email Baghaei during a regular briefing. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he expects Iran to open itself to international inspection to verify that it doesn't restart its nuclear program. Asked if he would demand during expected talks with Iran that the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, or some other organization be authorized to conduct inspections, Trump responded that the Islamic Republic would have to cooperate with the group "or somebody that we respect, including ourselves." Israel relentlessly attacked Iran beginning on June 13, targeting its nuclear sites, defense systems, high-ranking military officials and atomic scientists.
