A critical delay in international nuclear inspections has raised concerns as the International Atomic Energy Agency has not visited key Iranian facilities for over a year. Tehran has cited recent U.S. strikes on its territory as the reason for denying access, arguing that security risks now prevent routine oversight. The absence of on-site verification comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Western powers over its nuclear program. Experts warn that prolonged gaps in monitoring could hinder efforts to ensure compliance with global non-proliferation agreements.
