Security measures at the nuclear facilities in Iran are, reasonably, tightened, Kazem Gharibabadi tweeted Tuesday, hinting at repeated acts of sabotage against Iranian nuclear sites in recent years, which have been blamed on Israel.
The IAEA inspectors have gradually come up with the new rules and regulations, Gharibabadi added.
Security measures at the nuclear facilities in Iran are, reasonably, tightened. The IAEA inspectors have gradually come up with the new rules and regulations.
The remarks came after The Wall Street Journal quoted diplomats as saying that Iranian security staff had subjected female IAEA inspectors to inappropriate searches.
In a statement issued in response to the report, the IAEA did not specify the inspectors gender but said it immediately raised the issue with Iran.
Iran has provided explanations related to reinforced security procedures following events at one of their facilities. As a result of this exchange between the Agency and Iran there have been no further incidents, the IAEA said.
