Iran nuclear chief barred from IAEA meeting, Tehran blames US

Iran's nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, was denied entry to Austria for the IAEA's annual conference. Tehran attributed the decision to US pressure, according to Punch Nigeria.

The IAEA chief, Rafael Grossi, has expressed concerns over the lack of access to Iran's nuclear facilities. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, Grossi warned that inspectors had had virtually no access for six months, raising serious proliferation concerns.

The developments come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US. The National UAE reported on Iran's involvement in the conflict in Yemen, including the role of a high-ranking commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, Abdul Reza Shahlai, also known as Hajj Yusef. The US has accused Shahlai of various crimes and is offering a reward of up to $15 million for information on his activities.
