International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts will sooner or later begin inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities; the respective point is included in the memorandum of understanding signed between the US and Iran. IAEA director general Rafael Grossi stated this at a news conference at Japan’s tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, where the release of purified water into the ocean continues, AP reports.

The accord “says explicitly that the nuclear activities that are going to be carried out with regards to the nuclear material facilities will be supervised by the IAEA—in all letters,” Grossi said. “Obviously, to do that, we will have to inspect. ”

At the same time, the IAEA chief noted that at this point it has not yet been decided when these inspections can begin.

“Whether this happens the day after tomorrow or in one week or in 10 days, it’s important, but not essential. This is going to happen,” he said.

Earlier, the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding, which provides for an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon. On June 21-22, US-Iranian talks were held in the Swiss health resort town of Burgenstock, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, aimed at implementing the provisions of the memorandum. But after that, Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmail Baghaei announced that Tehran had not discussed with the IAEA in Burgenstock the issue of conducting new inspections of its nuclear facilities.
