Recent diplomatic efforts following U.S.-Iran framework understandings in June 2026 have centered on IAEA access to the enrichment facilities at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, which sustained damage during 2025 strikes. Director General Rafael Grossi has stated that inspections of these sites are required under interim arrangements and that technical modalities are under discussion, with expectations of visits in the near term. Iran has maintained that full verification at affected locations depends on progress toward a final agreement and has continued to limit inspector access, citing safety and sovereignty concerns. IAEA reports highlight unresolved safeguards questions around enriched uranium stockpiles and post-strike activities, particularly at Isfahan tunnels. Trader assessments reflect uncertainty over the pace of resumed safeguards activities amid ongoing bilateral talks and Iran's discretion over inspection scope.
