September 13, 2021 Iran and U.N. Atomic Watchdog Reach Deal to Resume Monitoring of Nuclear Sites ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The United Nations atomic agency and Iran said they reached a deal Sunday to allow international inspectors into some of Iran's nuclear sites and to reset equipment for monitoring them. The two parties also said they will continue talks about Iran's nuclear program. The development means Tehran will likely avoid censure by the agency, and renewed hope that the 2015 nuclear deal could still be restored. The U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the landmark deal in 2018 under President Trump. .
