IAEA's Grossi presses Iran to let inspectors back in
Rafael Grossi wants IAEA inspectors back inside Iran, and he's asking Tehran for gradual, technical steps to make it happen. In a new report, the agency also flags deep concern over an underground enrichment plant it can't locate or inspect.

Nothing open. Every check passed.
The UN's nuclear watchdog is turning up the heat on Tehran. In a report made public Friday, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi urged Iran to take gradual, technical steps that would clear the way for agency inspectors to return to the country's nuclear sites, according to AFP. Grossi's appeal lands as the agency says its view inside Iran keeps narrowing.
The sharpest worry is the underground Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant, or IFEP. The IAEA says it is "increasingly concerned" about the facility because it does not know where it is or whether nuclear material is stored there. The reason: Iran never allowed the agency to inspect it. That blind spot sits right at the center of Grossi's request.
As the report puts it, Grossi encourages Iran to weigh "technical and gradual measures" that would create the conditions for inspectors to come back. The report was carried by AFP on Friday. No response from Tehran has been reported.
