Iran Nuclear Inspections Crisis After Bombings
Key Questions
Why is Iran refusing IAEA access to its nuclear sites?
Iran is blocking inspections at bombed nuclear facilities despite US claims of an agreement, which has created a credibility gap around the administration's reported diplomatic success.
What deal emerged from the Qatar talks involving Witkoff and Kushner?
A 60-day interim agreement on uranium dilution was reached, though inspections remain blocked and Iran is assessed to retain 70% of its missiles and bomb-grade uranium.
How did the US warning about an Israeli plot affect Iran talks?
The US informed Iran of an alleged Israeli assassination plot targeting negotiators during the discussions, which has deepened the existing trust deficit between the parties.
