“PROLIFERATION-SENSITIVE”
Samuel Hickey of the Washington-based Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, said Grossi’s visit of the two flowers was” important for both professional surveillance and metaphorical reasons”.
” Natanz serves as Iran’s key uranium enrichment facility, while Fordo houses some of its most advanced centrifuges”, Hickey said.
Fordo “is among Iran’s most proliferation-sensitive places”, he added.
Hickey claimed that Iran “is signaling that the easiest way to obtain these services is through political engagement” by allowing Grossi to explore the plants.
Grossi’s attend comes inainte of an IAEA board of governors meeting later this month where Germany, France, and Britain may make a new solution critical of Iran.
In discussions with the IAEA main in Tehran on Thursday, President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran was willing to fix any “doubts and inconsistencies” about its nuclear interests.
But in his conference with Grossi, Iran’s nuclear key Mohammad Eslami threatened fast” measures” if the committee adopts an “interventionist quality”.
According to Institute for Science and International Security mind David Albright, Iran wants to “act like it will cooperate” in order to erode support for a terrible table resolution and threaten retaliation if one is passed.
President Joe Biden’s incoming administration was skeptical of Tehran’s display of cooperation.
” Unfortunately, what we want to see from Iran is real behaviour change and action, not only signs of something or signs of something”, State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said.
