Iran must 'seriously improve' nuclear co-operation, watchdog says

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Iran must "seriously improve" co-operation with UN inspectors to avoid heightening tensions with the west, the International Atomic Energy Agency's head has warned.
46% : Grossi said it was not yet necessary to refer Iran to the UN Security Council as a result of the breakdown of inspections, but "co-operation needs to improve seriously".
36% : Diplomats and analysts worry Israel could launch new attacks against Iran if concerns over the country's highly enriched uranium stockpile are not addressed, and if there is no movement on efforts to secure a deal between Washington and Tehran to resolve the stand-off over Iran's nuclear programme.
34% : But European powers later the same month drew an angry response from Tehran by triggering a so-called snapback process at the UN to reimpose international sanctions on the Islamic republic, partly because of Iran's lack of co-operation with the IAEA.
30% : They accused the IAEA -- whose board had a day before the conflict adopted a resolution accusing Iran of breaching its non-proliferation commitments -- of providing a pretext for Israel to attack.
29% : Rafael Grossi told the Financial Times that while the IAEA had carried out about a dozen inspections in Iran since the war with Israel in June, it had not been given access to the most important nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, which were bombed by the US.
