DUBAI, June 27 (Reuters) - Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araqchi indicated on Friday that Tehran may reject any request by the head of UN nuclear watchdog the IAEA for visits to Iranian nuclear sites.

(IAEA head Rafael Grossi's) insistence on visiting the bombed sites under the pretext of safeguards is meaningless and possibly even malign in intent," Araqchi wrote in a post on X.

"Iran reserves the right to take any steps in defense of its interests, its people, and its sovereignty."

1. Theyre trying to protect trump and hide the fact nothing was destroyed

[FBaggins]

2. Iran is trying to protect Trump?

Why?

3. Dunno

Just my suspicion with all the warnings of attacks and seeming success in not actually doing real damage to the other.

They, after all, share the mutual besty of Vladimir putin

4. Sorry - that doesn't make any sense

Iran is the one saying that the attack did little to no damage... it would benefit them to have the IAEA back that up.

5. Not true. Our own Intelligence said the same thing at first.

And how would it benefit them? If people can be convinced their nuclear stockpile was destroyed, why would they want to disprove that?

6. I imagine that "no damage done" was for local consumption, and I doubt 14-30,000lbs bombs did "little damage"

Really looking at pictures from space you'd have little idea what damage was done way underground.
Only way to tell would be to go down there.

7. Yeah. The core question is whether Iran moved them.

According to the evidence so far, they seem to have done that.

8. But moved the uranium or the centrifuges? I doubt anybody knows yet for sure

[SSJVegeta]

9. Yup. Lots of unknowns. Heres a working link for BBC article. The last one wasnt apparently.
