\n Iran has said it will not comply with any demands from the UN\u2019s nuclear watchdog to inspect its bombed nuclear sites, citing the absence of established regulations for inspecting facilities damaged by military strikes.\n <\/p>\n
\n In June, Israel and the United States<\/a> carried out significant military strikes targeting Iran\u2019s nuclear program, damaging key sites including Natanz, Fordo, and Isfahan. The exact condition of Iran\u2019s facilities after the strikes remains unclear.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n \n Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran\u2019s Atomic Energy Organization, said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should formally clarify whether such attacks are authorized. If they are not, he added, the agency should condemn the strikes and provide clear procedures for post-war inspections.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cIf there are established procedures for the post-war situation, the Agency should announce them so that we can act accordingly,\u201d Eslami said, according to Iran\u2019s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cBut if there are none, our request\u2014which we have formally communicated to them\u2014is that it must be clearly defined and codified what steps should be taken if a nuclear facility that is registered with and under the Safeguards of the Agency comes under military attack,\u201d he added.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cUntil this issue is clarified, political and psychological pressure, as well as irrelevant demands to re-inspect the bombed facilities and complete the enemy\u2019s operations, will not be accepted and will receive no response,\u201d Eslami said, according to IRNA.\n <\/p>\n \n In late November, the IAEA called on Iran to provide full and prompt cooperation, allow verification of nuclear material, and comply with international safeguards and UN Security Council requirements, while continuing diplomatic engagement.\n <\/p>\n \n During a United Nations Security Council meeting on nuclear non-proliferation on Tuesday, the deputy head of the European Union delegation, Hedda Samson, called on Iran to provide IAEA with updated and verifiable declarations detailing the quantity, location, and status of its nuclear material and related activities.\n <\/p>\n \n France\u2019s deputy permanent representative to the UN, Jay Dharmadhikari, said Iran\u2019s failure to implement its \u201cinternational obligations related to its nuclear programme constitute a grave threat to international peace and security.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
