international, IAEA-Iran "statement war" framing

Al Jazeera reported on June 26 that the IAEA publicly demanded 'strong verification' of Iran's nuclear programme, escalating the public dispute to a formal statement-level confrontation. Iran rejected inspections of bombed enrichment sites until the IAEA defines acceptable 'post-war conditions.' The IAEA did visit Bushehr nuclear power plant but was denied access to destroyed enrichment sites.
