Iran Agrees to Give U.N. Atomic Agency Access to Its Nuclear Sites
Iran has agreed to give the U.N. atomic agency access to its main nuclear facilities, opening the possibility for international inspectors to assess the damage done by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes in June and check on Tehran’s stockpile of near weapons-grade enriched uranium, the agency’s chief said.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and the International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi reached the deal late Tuesday in Cairo after weeks of back and forth. Tehran had suspended cooperation with the agency after the June attacks on its main nuclear sites.

The agreement could help Iran avoid the reimposition of international sanctions on the country lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. European governments need to decide whether to put those sanctions back in place before the end of September.
Germany, France and Britain have told Iran that they could delay the reimposition of the sanctions if Tehran takes clear, tangible steps to resume cooperation with the IAEA and re-enter serious talks with the U.S. over its nuclear program.
