Iran will not impede U.N. nuclear watchdog’s access and inspection of its sites, the head of the country’s Atomic Energy Organization said on Saturday.

According to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) earlier this week, Iran has agreed to tougher monitoring by the agency at its Fordow site after it greatly accelerated uranium enrichment to close to weapons grade there.

Last week, the IAEA reported that Iran had multiplied the pace of its enrichment to up to 60% purity, close to the 90% of weapons grade, at Fordow.

“We have not created and will not create any obstacles for the agency’s inspections and access,” Atomic Energy Organization head Mohammad Eslami was quoted as saying by Iranian media.

From the Jerusalem Post:

As a result of sanctions, Iran is running out of radioactive isotopes used to treat some 850,000 cancer patients.

From the US National Institute of Health (NIH):

The right to health accepted as an essential human right and the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes to settle a right-based approach to health. The US administration’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018 requires imminent attention to the impact of sanctions on health of more than 80 million Iranians. In Iran, public health-care system plays a central role in providing health care and treatment services. The sanctions before 2015 indirectly targeted Iran public health system. New sanctions will have devastating effects on the health of many Iranians, notably patients suffered from cancer. Cancers are the third cause of death in Iran.
