Iran has barred the UN nuclear watchdog’s chief from entering the country and suspended camera installations at its nuclear facilities, escalating tensions over transparency following recent military clashes.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced Saturday that Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), will no longer be allowed to enter the country.
