Iran has not allowed inspections since its nuclear sites were bombed by Israel and the United States in June, but it hopes to stave off Western economic sanctions.
Smoke and dust from Israeli airstrikes shrouded Tehran in June. Iran suspended its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency in the wake of Israel and Iran’s 12-day war.
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said on Wednesday that U.N. inspectors were visiting Bushehr, Iran’s only operating nuclear power plant, shown in May.
Amid suffocating temperatures, the Iranian authorities are closing public offices and cutting water and electricity as the country struggles with an energy crisis.
