VOA \u2014 Iran has removed 27 surveillance cameras from nuclear sites around the country impeding the ability to monitor the country\u2019s nuclear activities, Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Grossi called the action a \u201cserious challenge\u201d and said that in a matter of weeks the IAEA would no longer have a \u201ccontinuity of knowledge\u201d about Iran\u2019s nuclear programs.<\/p>\n
“This would be a fatal blow” to negotiations over Iran’s tattered nuclear deal with world powers, Grossi said. “When we lose this, then it’s anybody’s guess,” he added.<\/p>\n
Grossi said \u201c40-something\u201d cameras remained at some nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n
The sites that would see cameras removed include its underground Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, as well as its facility in Isfahan, Grossi said.<\/p>\n
Talks to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal have been stalled since April. The U.S. withdrew from the deal in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump. The Biden administration has unsuccessfully tried to negotiate a U.S. return to the deal.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, experts say Iran is nearing having enough weapons-grade enriched uranium to make one nuclear bomb.<\/p>\n
Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.<\/p>\n
