UN Nuclear Watchdog Seeks Access to Iranian Nuclear Sites
Following recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the UN's nuclear watchdog wants to go inspect them.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, wants his inspectors to go back to Iran and check how the attacks affected things and to see how much enriched uranium Iran still has.
Iran sent a letter saying they would protect their materials.
Grossi thinks the uranium, some of which is close to what's needed for a bomb, is probably still there.
