“Iran may calculate that its unconstrained nuclear advances and unmonitored centrifuge production will put more pressure on the West to give ground in talks quickly,” Rome said. Henry Rome, an analyst at the Eurasia Group, warned Iran’s stance “reflects poorly on the outlook for the nuclear talks” in Vienna. Grossi on Wednesday insisted that, despite this week's lack of progress, a solution has to be found. The IAEA has had no access there since June after Iran said a sabotage attack by Israel considerably damaged the facility and an IAEA camera there. The agency also has sought monitoring of activities at the centrifuge parts production site near Karaj. Inspectors haven’t been able to access that data either, making the task of monitoring Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile that much more difficult. Automated measuring devices also provided real-time data from the program. Those seals communicated electronically to inspectors. Under the deal, the IAEA also placed around 2,000 tamper-proof seals on nuclear material and equipment. Since February, the IAEA has been unable to access imagery from the surveillance cameras. inspections of its nuclear facilities if European signatories did not provide relief from oil and banking sanctions by February. Iran’s hard-line parliament in December 2020 approved a bill that would suspend part of U.N. Those cameras helped it monitor Tehran’s program to see if it is complying with the nuclear deal.

Under a confidential agreement called an “Additional Protocol” with Iran, the IAEA collects and analyzes images from a series of surveillance cameras installed at Iranian nuclear sites. He also met Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, who said Iran was determined to have “constructive engagement” with the IAEA to “improve mutual trust and cooperation,” according to a report by the state-run IRNA news agency. On Tuesday, Grossi went to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the country’s civilian nuclear agency, and met its new head, Mohammad Eslami. Pressed on whether any progress had been made, Grossi said that “in terms of the substance, no, quite clearly, we were not able to make progress." However, he said that having got to know the new Iranian officials was “a positive element” and “this will certainly help.”īut he warned: “We are close to the point where I would not be able to guarantee continuity of knowledge.” He did not specify a timeframe, but said a long lack of access to a centrifuge parts production site near the northern city of Karaj “would at some point prevent me from continuing to say that I have an idea of what is going on.” “I'm not giving up on trying to find some understanding, but in terms of what we were discussing yesterday, we could not conclude an agreement.”
“Our negotiations have been inconclusive, meaning that we could not finish,” Grossi told reporters in Vienna, where the IAEA is based, after addressing the agency's board of governors. The International Atomic Energy Agency's inspectors remain unable to access surveillance footage and face greater challenges in trying to monitor Tehran’s rapidly growing uranium stockpile, some of which is now enriched up to 60% purity - a short technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%.
