The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated, "Following the attack, Iran did not allow us access to the damaged nuclear facility for inspection. Providing information and granting access to the Isfahan facility is crucial; nothing can replace the agency's actual access to Iranian nuclear facilities." The French representative to the UN Security Council stated, "The IAEA has referred Iran's nuclear issue to the Security Council because of its violations. We must understand the situation regarding the 440 kilograms of Iranian uranium."
