Iran has started removing 27 surveillance cameras installed by UN inspectors at nuclear sites around the country, widening a dispute over Tehran's program as it enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels.
The UN atomic energy watchdog said Thursday that Iran was removing 27 surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities, warning this could be a "fatal blow" to negotiations to revive a 2015 nuclear deal. FRANCE 24's Anthony Mills reports from Vienna.
Iran is removing 27 surveillance cameras at nuclear facilities, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head Rafael Grossi says, calling it a "serious challenge" to the agency's work in the country. SOUNDBITE
During a press conference, the IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi shows the type of that the UN watchdog is using for monitoring Iran's nuclear program. Tehran and the Vienna-based IAEA announced earlier this week that they had reached agreement on replacing the cameras at a facility which makes centrifuges, after they were reportedly damaged in a June attack Tehran blames on Israel. But the IAEA will not be able to examine the camera images until after sanctions are lifted, an Iranian official has said. IMAGES
JCPOA roundtable negotiations in Vienna, which aim to revive the Iran nuclear deal, are put on pause so that European diplomats can review the proposals by the Islamic republic. The talks are "most likely" to resume in a couple of days. IMAGES
