Tehran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed serious safety concerns for United Nations nuclear inspectors following recent US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, noted that the usual cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) cannot continue due to the inability to guarantee the inspectors’ security under the current tense conditions.
The recent military actions have heightened tensions in the region, prompting Iran to restrict frequent and routine inspections that typically monitor its nuclear activities. Despite requests from the IAEA to resume normal operations at nuclear facilities, Iran emphasizes that protecting the inspectors remains a priority amidst ongoing conflicts and strikes.
These developments are part of a broader escalation in the Middle East involving:
- The US administration’s recent allocation of $30 million to aid efforts in Gaza.
- Israel’s continued military campaign.
- International criticism and demands for de-escalation from various countries.
The United Nations and nuclear watchdog agencies are closely monitoring the situation, highlighting the potential global risks if diplomatic channels and nuclear oversight weaken due to increased hostilities.
