Iran Warns It May Expel UN Nuclear Inspectors If Threats Persist

Iran will consider expelling international nuclear inspectors and transferring its stocks of enriched uranium to secret locations if foreign military threats continue, a top aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.

Ali Shamkhani, the former secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council who now advises Khamenei on political matters, said on X that “continuing external threats” that put Iran in a “military attack” posture could lead the Islamic Republic to “take measures such as the expulsion of International Atomic Energy Inspectors and ending cooperation with it.”
