Iran Removing 27 Surveillance Cameras From Nuclear Sites, Confirms UN Energy Watchdog IAEA

🎃Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made the comments at a suddenly called news conference in Vienna.

✅ The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog agency said Thursday that Iran is removing 27 surveillance cameras from nuclear sites in the country.

🥃Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made the comments at a suddenly called news conference in Vienna.

ꦏGrossi said the move poses a “serious challenge” to its efforts. Iran did not immediately acknowledge it.

ꦰGrossi said that would leave “40-something” cameras still in Iran. The sites that would see cameras removed include its underground Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, as well as its facility in Isfahan, Grossi said.

🎃On Wednesday, Iran said it shut off two devices the IAEA uses to monitor enrichment at Natanz. Iranian officials also threatened to take more steps amid a yearslong crisis that threatens to widen into further attacks.

ﷺThat came ahead of a vote before the IAEA's board censuring Iran over what the agency calls Iran's failure to provide “credible information” over man-made nuclear material found at three undeclared sites in the country.
