UN Nuclear Agency Slams Iran for Barring Inspectors
(AP-Washington Post) Emily Schultheis - Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Saturday that "Iran has effectively removed about one-third of the core group of the agency's most experienced inspectors designated for Iran" from monitoring the country's atomic program. Grossi went on to "strongly condemn this disproportionate and unprecedented unilateral measure," saying it "constitutes an unnecessary blow to an already strained relationship between the IAEA and Iran." Without these inspectors, he said, the agency will not be able to effectively "provide credible assurances that nuclear material and activities in Iran are for peaceful purposes."
