These people have been fueling this (crisis) for more than 20 years.

If this is to be used as political leverage, it will not go anywhere. In fact, they did agree on the JCPOA and then abandoned it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On August 22, in an interview with CNN, Raphael Grossi once again stressed that the IAEA will &#8220;in no way&#8221; back down from its demand that the Iranian regime shall provide answers regarding the origin of many undeclared uranium traces in several sites and that it shall provide access to requested locations and personnel.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Dropping probes is not something the IAEA does or will ever do without a proper process.
