Iran limits IAEA inspections and removes cameras
Iran announces it will limit IAEA inspector access to nuclear sites and remove surveillance cameras installed under the JCPOA. Iran claims IAEA cooperation with the US violates the agency's neutrality. The move severely hampers international verification of Iran's nuclear activities and deepens uncertainty about the scale of Iran's enrichment program.
