Public service announcement: The #IAEA conducted more than 400 inspections of #Iran's #nuclear sites in 2024, accounting for enriched #uranium at gram levels. @IAEAorg inspectors remain on the ground in Iran. Hard to tell for how long, since #NPT Article X now in play

EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas spoke with #Iran's FM Araghchi. Araghchi criticized the recent IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ resolution as a ground and pretext for Israeli aggression. He said the Israeli aggression makes ongoing Iran-US talks unjustifiable.
