TEHRAN -- The chief of Iran’s nuclear agency said Tuesday the IAEA’s request to access the TESA Karaj Complex, a centrifuge component manufacturing workshop in north-central Iran, is beyond the safeguards agreement and therefore “unacceptable”.
“Our talks with the IAEA about the Karaj complex still continue,” Muhammad Eslami said, adding “relations between Iran and the agency must be based on the laws and statutes of the IAEA safeguards and the NPT”.
