\u201cIran and U.N. Watchdog Meet to Discuss Resuming Nuclear Inspections,\u201d<\/a> NYTimes, 9-9-25.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIran has not allowed inspections since its nuclear sites were bombed by Israel and the United States in June, but it hopes to stave off Western economic sanctions.\u201d\u00a0 Also of note, \u201cIran\u2019s government spokeswoman, Fatemeh Mohajerani, said on Tuesday that officials \u201cdo not have access\u201d to Iran\u2019s enriched uranium, but did not elaborate. \u201cIt is located in a place where access is not available,\u201d she was quoted as saying by Iran\u2019s state news agency, IRNA. Her comments seemed to indicate Iran may itself be unable to reach those stockpiles, which some experts have speculated could be trapped in facilities underground since the U.S. and Israeli bombardment. Last month, Mr. Grossi told reporters that Iran would have no obligation to dig out any site for inspectors to gain access. But he said the I.A.E.A. has equipment that can detect nuclear material even without full access.\u201d<\/p>\n

Security Council resolutions, Iran will consider its cooperation with the agency to have come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n
