BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 15.​ Iran may
consider discussions on inspecting its attacked nuclear facilities
and prioritizing national security, Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman
for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), told reporters,
Trend
reports.


Speaking in Tehran, Kamalvandi noted that strict measures must
be taken regarding the attacked nuclear sites. He emphasized that
safeguard agreements do not currently address wartime conditions,
making security the top priority.


The spokesperson added that Iran has faced external pressure to
allow inspections quickly, but ensuring the safety of the country
and its nuclear sites requires that any actions occur legally and
without risk. He clarified that no inspections are currently taking
place, and past inspections have been conducted only with approval
from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council under domestic
law.


The statement comes after Israel and the United States carried
out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June, prompting
Iran to minimize cooperation with the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) and pass legislation regulating any engagement with
the agency.


On the morning of June 13, Israel carried out military air
strikes against Iran, leading to the deaths of numerous
high-ranking military officials, generals, nuclear scientists, and
other senior personnel.


Meanwhile, on the same evening, Iran responded to Israel with
Operation True Promise III: hundreds of ballistic missiles and
drones were launched at several targets, including Tel Aviv,
resulting in civilian casualties and widespread destruction.


On June 22, the U.S. launched military airstrikes on three
Iranian nuclear facilities. It was reported that the airstrikes
destroyed Iranian nuclear facilities.


In addition, on the evening of June 23, Iran launched airstrikes
on a U.S. military base in Qatar.


On June 24, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced that
the Israeli government had agreed to a ceasefire with Iran,
brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.


Iran's Supreme National Security Council also issued a statement
noting the cessation of attacks.
