Iran’s President: Inspectors Expose Nuclear Sites and Scientists to Attack

Pezeshkian's linking of inspections to targeting reframes the IAEA's access as a security liability rather than a confidence-building tool — a claim that, if sustained, undermines the transparency model the nuclear file has rested on. It also folds the negotiating track into the same objection, suggesting Tehran sees talks and strikes as one continuum rather than separate channels. Whether this becomes a formal policy shift on inspector access, or remains rhetorical positioning, is the open question worth watching.
