The type of news that makes your day. “From May 22 and with the end of the three-month agreement, the agency will have no access to data collected by cameras inside the nuclear facilities agreed under the agreement,” Fars quoted Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf as saying. He is Iran’s parliamentary speaker, and this threat on Sunday to significantly limit access of international inspectors to nuclear sites and data increases tensions with the International Atomic Energy Agency and world powers as nuclear deal negotiations reach their apex. “The threat came half a day after IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi announced that he would hold a press conference Sunday afternoon to update the world on the status of inspections, and as Iran, the US and world powers enter what could be a fateful week of negotiations to return to the 2015 nuclear deal. It was unclear if the threat was a last-second attempt at saber-rattling to try to get concessions from the US before a deal is cut or whether it was a sign that the Islamic Republic is ready to sabotage negotiations and engender a major crisis.” See “Iran threatens more limits on nuclear inspections at height of negotiations,” Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, May 23, 2021.
