Personnel of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have reinstalled cameras at Karaj nuclear site last December to replace cameras that were damaged in a sabotage attack in a tweet, posted on Saturday. Russia’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Mikhail Ulyanov, said “The agency informed me today about reinstalling the cameras at Karaj in the end of December in line with Iran’s approval to replace them with the ones that had been removed.” The IAEA announced, in the middle of December last year, that Iran agreed to grant the IAEA inspectors access to Karaj nuclear site to change the monitoring cameras. It has also declared that work would be pursued between the two sides to prevent any misunderstanding and thrash out differences on some issues The agreement was considered an important step for the IAEA with respect of inspection and monitoring tasks. The IAEA agreed to install new surveillance cameras at Iran’s Karaj centrifuge component manufacturing workshop under an agreement reached on Dec. 16 by Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi and the Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammad Eslami. The cameras will replace those that were removed from the Karaj facility earlier this year. In addition, the Agency and Iran will continue to work on remaining outstanding safeguards issues with the aim of resolving them. “The agreement with Iran on replacing surveillance cameras at the Karaj facility is an important development for the IAEA’s verification and monitoring activities in Iran. It will enable us to resume necessary continuity of knowledge at this facility,” Director General Grossi said. “I sincerely hope that we can continue our constructive discussions to also address and resolve all outstanding safeguards issues in Iran.” — Agencies
