Iran's nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, was barred from attending the annual IAEA conference in Vienna. According to the US and Tehran, this decision was made due to US pressure on Austria to deny him entry. The US Energy Secretary confirmed that Eslami is a sanctioned individual.
The IAEA chief, Rafael Grossi, has expressed concerns over the lack of access to Iran's nuclear facilities, stating that inspectors have had virtually no access for six months. This has raised serious proliferation concerns.
Eslami's denial of entry to Austria was confirmed by multiple sources, with Tehran blaming US pressure for the decision.
