Following 2025 U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan nuclear facilities, the IAEA withdrew inspectors and lost direct access to enrichment halls and uranium storage sites amid safety and access restrictions imposed by Tehran. An interim U.S.-Iran framework reached by mid-2026 included provisions for resumed IAEA verification, with Director General Rafael Grossi stating in June that inspections of nuclear material facilities would occur and that modalities were under discussion with Iranian officials. Iran has conditioned broader access on final agreements and new safeguards arrangements, resulting in only selective or limited IAEA presence at some sites since the conflicts. Satellite imagery continues to show activity and prior damage at the targeted locations, while Vienna consultations on re-entry timelines remain active into August 2026. Any near-term physical visits hinge on bilateral progress and Iranian approvals before year-end deadlines.
