 DW>> Didn't Iran sometimes turn the inspectors away?

 Yes, they turned inspectors away many times.
here's a breakdown from AI

2006- 2010 (The Security Council Standoff): After the IAEA found Iran non-compliant in late 2005, the UN Security Council passed a series of resolutions demanding Iran halt uranium enrichment. Iran responded by suspending voluntary cooperation with the IAEA, refusing to ratify the Additional Protocol, and denying inspectors access to any facility not explicitly covered under its basic, narrow safeguards agreement.

2019 (The Natanz Incident & JCPOA Breakdown): Following the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear pact (JCPOA), Iran systematically began breaching its enrichment caps. Tensions peaked at a physical checkpoint when Iranian guards detained a female IAEA inspector, confiscated her travel documents, and barred her from entering the Natanz enrichment plant. Iran falsely claimed she tested positive for carrying explosive materials.

2023 (The "Experienced Inspector" Purge): Iran used a political mechanism under its safeguards agreement to revoke the deployment credentials of roughly one-third of the IAEA's most senior inspection team. By targeting specifically French and German nuclear experts, Iran effectively stripped the IAEA of the core personnel who possessed the historical, institutionalknowledge needed to spot hidden enrichment activities.
