Iran debates IAEA access as Trump threatens more strikes: Analysis

Abas Aslani, senior analyst at Iran’s Center for Middle East Strategic Studies, told Al Jazeera that conflicting damage reports about Iran’s nuclear programme risk provoking renewed conflict. He noted Tehran distrusts the US-led ceasefire, fearing it could enable further attacks. While Western media downplay strike impacts, Iran insists its nuclear infrastructure remains viable. Parliamentary laws currently bar IAEA inspections, citing safety concerns and potential espionage. Aslani revealed internal debates in Tehran about permitting inspectors, but warned findings could fuel more strikes. He emphasised Trump’s threats of escalation if Iran’s capabilities are underestimated. The analyst framed the truce as fragile, with Iran viewing diplomacy as a potential trap.
