Overview
- IAEA chief Rafael Grossi told the Board of Governors the technical document sets procedures for inspection notifications, covers all facilities, and requires reporting on sites struck in June and any nuclear material there.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the deal respects Iran’s new law, does not currently grant inspector access beyond Bushehr, and would be halted if UN sanctions are reinstated or other hostile acts occur.
- The watchdog has been unable to verify Iran’s near‑weapons‑grade stockpile since mid‑June; a confidential IAEA report put 440.9 kg of uranium enriched up to 60% at Iran as of June 13.
- France, Germany and the UK triggered a 30‑day UN ‘snapback’ on Aug. 28 and have signaled they could extend the deadline if Iran resumes talks, allows inspections, and accounts for its enriched uranium.
- Egypt brokered the Cairo talks, and both sides describe the pact as a technical framework whose details are not public, with practical steps still awaiting execution.
