Iran has officially rejected the visit of International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi, aimed at assessing the damage to its nuclear facilities. This decision is poised to limit international scrutiny of Iran's nuclear activities and complicate ongoing negotiations surrounding its nuclear program.

The refusal to allow Grossi access highlights Iran's desire to maintain control over its nuclear narrative amid increasing global concerns. This move could lead to heightened tensions with Western powers, which have been advocating for tighter oversight and more transparency in Iran's nuclear operations.
