Iran Releases Video of Moment IAEA Cameras Were Switched Off - Tasnim News Agency

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) released footage showing the moment when two of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s surveillance cameras recording data beyond the Safeguards Agreement in the country were turned off.

In a statement on Wednesday, the AEOI said while Tehran has extensively cooperated with the UN nuclear agency, the IAEA has unfortunately ignored the fact that such cooperation signifies Iran’s goodwill, has been ungrateful for the cooperation, and has considered it as a duty of Iran.

As a result, Iran decided to shut off the ultra-Safeguards Agreement cameras monitoring enrichment levels (OLEM or Online Enrichment Monitor) and flowmeters of the IAEA as of Wednesday, June 8, it added.

However, the statement noted, more than 80 percent of the IAEA’s cameras in Iran have access to data within the framework of the Safeguards Agreement which will continue to operate as before.
