| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | Open | Partly supported | Diplomats speaking to Reuters (ev-20261027-q08g) and to AFP (ev-20261027-2eye) said Iran had not let inspectors return to the bombed sites and that the IAEA had no access to key sites since June 2025, which matches the denial of access to Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The record does not show that inspectors could visit Bushehr or the Tehran reactor. Events: ev-20261027-q08g, ev-20261027-2eye. |
