The spokesperson for Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency, Behrouz Kamalvandi, has responded to the International Atomic Energy Agency on limitations on access to parts of Iran’s nuclear program. Kamalvandi said that the IAEA's claim that access to a nuclear facility was restricted was “one-sided and biased” and “not productive” to the process described in a Sept. 12 joint statement issued by Iran and IAEA director Rafael Grossi.
The IAEA said yesterday that Iran had limited its access to the Karaj nuclear facility, which was the site of a sabotage attack Tehran blamed on Israel earlier this year. Kamalvandi himself was injured and hospitalized during a visit to the site to inspect the damage. During Grossi’s visit for talks in Iran, it became public that cameras at Karaj had been damaged.
