Iranian officials have maintained strict limits on IAEA access to the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan enrichment facilities since military strikes in June 2025 and February 2026 damaged several sites and prompted withdrawal of inspectors. Iranian law and Supreme National Security Council resolutions restrict verification activities at bombed locations pending new protocols, while parliament has reinforced the ban. President Pezeshkian signaled openness in late September 2026 to resuming inspections under a negotiated agreement, yet other officials stated no such talks had occurred and reiterated red lines on damaged sites. IAEA Director General Grossi has repeatedly offered immediate deployment of inspectors if invited, citing urgent gaps in knowledge of uranium stockpiles and centrifuge status at the three facilities. These procedural and political constraints continue to shape expectations around near-term visits.
