Defying Trump, IAEA says Iran honoring nuclear deal
The world atomic energy agency rejected the Trump administration's push to inspect Iranian military sites without a clear reason.
WASHINGTON — Iran is honoring the terms of the landmark 2015 nuclear accord, the UN atomic watchdog said in its latest quarterly assessment today, according to news agencies that obtained the confidential six-page report. The latest International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) assessment puts the agency charged with overseeing compliance with the nuclear accord at odds with members of the Donald Trump administration who have signaled that they want to declare Iran in breach of the deal.
IAEA officials said they would not help the Trump administration make a false case for abandoning the agreement.
