UN inspectors back in Iran as IAEA chief gets protection over Tehran threat

 The UN nuclear watchdog’s inspectors have returned to Iran after their
expulsion during a brief war with Israel and the US, IAEA chief Rafael
Grossi said Tuesday, amid reports he has been placed under 24/7 protection
following Iran’s threat to his life. “Now the first team of IAEA inspectors
is back in Iran, and we are about to restart,” International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) director general Grossi said. Grossi, who was in Washington
DC for the annual meeting of the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management,
stopped short of saying there was an agreement or timeline for them to
resume their work. “When it comes to Iran, as you know, there are many
facilities. Some were attacked, some were not. So we are discussing what
kind of modalities, practical modalities, can be implemented in order to
facilitate the restart of our work there.”
