Iran has turned off two surveillance cameras used by the United Nations watchdog agency to monitor one of its nuclear sites.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran was responsible for removing two of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s “online enrichment monitors,” state television reported on Wednesday, according to the New York Times.More than 80% of the IAEA’s cameras will continue to operate, the report continued, though it’s unclear what prompted the removal of these two cameras in particular.
This decision by the Iranians came as they and the United States have stalled on talks to restart the 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement that the Trump administration withdrew from in 2018. Earlier this week, State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters, “It remains a very big question mark as to whether we will get there,” discussing whether the United States and Iran would be able to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Also on Monday, Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the IAEA, acknowledged that Iran is on the verge of having enough enriched uranium to build a nuclear weapon.“This is going to happen, because they continue to enrich, in a quite sustained way,” he explained. “And so, it's a matter of time, where they get to one or more so-called 'significant quantities’ ... which is the quantity ... for which the development of a nuclear weapon cannot be excluded.
Tehran has remained committed to the expansion of its nuclear program despite President Joe Biden’s long-stalled attempt to negotiate a renewal of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Over the course of their negotiations, the Biden administration weighed the decision but ultimately decided against removing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps's terrorist designation.
