Bushehr:Tehran A few days ago, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conducted inspections at Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant.

According to Trend News Agency, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, announced this at a press conference in Tehran on Monday, November 9. Baghaei emphasized that Iran's mission in Vienna maintains constant and professional contact with the IAEA.

He further stated that Iran continues to fulfill its obligations under the IAEA rules, despite challenges posed by attacks on its nuclear facilities by the U.S. and Israel. Baghaei reiterated that Iran is a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and is meeting its safeguards obligations. He stressed that those responsible for the attacks on Iran should be held accountable, and these circumstances hinder normal cooperation with the IAEA.

Baghaei also mentioned that neither the IAEA Director General nor the Board of Governors has taken a stance regarding the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Tensions between the United States and Iran heightened on July 8 after the U.S. launched strikes on Iranian territory, claiming retaliation for an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. This marked the first U.S. military action against Iran since a memorandum was signed between Washington and Tehran. Following this, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the termination of the ceasefire with Iran, leading to retaliatory strikes by Tehran on U.S. facilities across several countries in the region. Consequently, maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz has come to a halt.
