IAEA inspectors safely depart from Iran after conflict

A team of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency has safely departed from Iran to return to the U.N. nuclear watchdog's headquarters in Vienna after staying in Tehran during the conflict between Israel and Iran, the agency said on Friday.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi "reiterated the crucial importance of the IAEA discussing with Iran modalities for resuming its indispensable monitoring and verification activities in Iran as soon as possible," it said in a post on X.
