The International Atomic Energy Agency<\/a> was under pressure to adopt a resolution censuring Iran’s regime over its escalating threat of nuclear weapons development. Still, Britain, France, and Germany decided Thursday not to present a resolution censuring Iran.<\/p>\n

At a press conference on Thursday, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said Iran had agreed to sit down for what he described as “a focused and systematic effort” to clarify a series of so-called safeguards issues the IAEA has been asking Iran about for the last two years.<\/p>\n

On February 23, the IAEA put out its latest report on the Iranian nuclear program and the nuclear deal status, or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Included was the agency’s first official reference to the presence of nuclear material at two additional sites that had come under suspicion despite having not been disclosed by the Iranian regime. The new sites were referenced alongside another that had previously been subject to IAEA inspections that yielded evidence of similar particles but no answers from the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

The ongoing lack of transparency about the Parchin site had already indicated that the Iranian regime was never upfront about its nuclear program’s aims and should not have been viewed as a legitimate negotiating partner in the run-up to the signing of the JCPOA. The new revelations about two other sites add to that and have sparked renewed calls for change in Western powers’ collective approach to dealing with the Iranian regime and attempting to constrain or dismantle its nuclear program.<\/p>\n

This was the message of a press conference held virtually on Tuesday by the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>, which has also been among the most consistent and revelatory sources of information about the Iranian regime’s clandestine activities. In that conference, NCRI presented additional details about one of the two sites identified in the previous month’s IAEA report, a facility in Abadeh, Fars Province, that had reportedly been the site of explosives testing dating back at least to 2003.<\/p>\n
