Ebrahim Azizi, Chairman of Iran’s Parliamentary Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy, has announced that Iran will not grant physical access to its nuclear facilities to any international organization. In a statement, he dismissed rumors circulating in the media about inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Azizi confirmed that an IAEA delegation will visit Iran next week, but their discussions will be limited to technical and expert-level talks with Iranian officials only. “Under a law passed by the Iranian parliament, physical access to nuclear sites by international agencies is not permissible,” he added. “However, dialogue will continue.”
