Also at the UN this week is a series of diplomatic meetings over Iran. Iran and the International Atomic Energy Administration, or IAEA, have gone back and forth over whether UN inspectors will be allowed to examine Iran's nuclear sites, including those Israel and the U.S. attacked back in June.

Nick Schifrin spoke earlier today to the head of the UN's nuclear

watchdog.

On Friday afternoon, the vote was clear.

Nine votes against their hands.

The Security Council reimposed on Iran sanctions that had been frozen for a decade.

Barring any last minute change, they go into effect this Sunday, sanctions that

had been lifted as part of the 2015 nuclear deal when Iran agreed to limits on its nuclear

program.

I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

In 2018, President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal. In the years

since, Iran restarted prohibited enrichment and exceeded the deal's caps on its nuclear fuel

stockpile. This summer, Israel launched a 12-day war against Iran, capped by U.S. strikes on Iran's most

important nuclear facilities, targeting its uranium enrichment and stockpile, which Iran

says is now buried under the rubble.

In response, at first, Iran blocked access to UN nuclear inspectors.

Just two weeks ago, Iran's foreign minister and IAEA Director General Rafael

Grosy agreed to allow those inspectors back in. But this weekend, Iran said the reimposition

of sanctions had, quote, practically resulted in the suspension of cooperation with the IAEA.

And now I'm joined by IEA Director General Rafael General Rafael Grossi. Rafael Grossi, thanks very much.

Welcome back to the news.

Thank you.
