The incident has disrupted IAEA proceedings, forcing Iran to postpone its address despite other AEOI officials arriving in the capital.

  • According to reporting from GN auto geopolitics/middle-east: Iran nuclear, Tehran attributes the entry ban to external pressure from the US and a regional state linked to the JCPOA snapback mechanism, noting that while Eslami was blocked, his deputy colleagues who are not on UN sanction lists successfully reached Vienna.
