The unprovoked acts of aggression that took place from 13 to 24 June 2025 and targeted our safeguarded nuclear facilities were blatantly unlawful and criminal. And the United States and Israeli regimes must be held accountable for all the human losses and the material damages incurred."

STORYLINE:
Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency signed an agreement Tuesday in Cairo to pave the way for resuming cooperation, including on ways of relaunching inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The announcement followed a meeting among Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi and International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi.
The meeting came at a sensitive time as France, Germany and the United Kingdom on Aug. 28 began the process of reimposing sanctions on Iran over what they have deemed non-compliance with a 2015 agreement aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
On July 2, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a law adopted by his country’s parliament suspending all cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
That followed Israel’s 12-day war with Iran in June, during which Israel and the U.S. struck Iranian nuclear sites.
The only site inspected by the IAEA since the war has been the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, which operates with Russian technical assistance.
Inspectors watched a fuel replacement procedure at the plant over two days starting Aug. 27.
