BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. There is no program
to gain access to nuclear facilities and uranium materials hit by
U.S. and Israeli military airstrikes against Iran.
This was reported in the publication by Iranian Deputy Foreign
Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, shared on his X social network
account.
"Access to nuclear sites hit by Iranian airstrikes and other
issues will be possible only within the framework of a final
agreement," he noted.
Gharibabadi said that if the opponent takes practical steps to
end the war, lift all sanctions and other issues, the issue of the
hit nuclear facilities will be investigated, and the situation will
be determined.
The Iranian deputy minister added that despite the appeal of the
Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael
Grossi, in Switzerland, no meeting has been held between the
Iranian side and him.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
A peace memorandum was signed between Iran and the U.S. on June
18. The memorandum was signed by Iranian President Masoud
Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump. The memorandum came
into effect on June 19.
On June 21, the first round of talks between Iran and the U.S.
took place in Switzerland, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar.
