Iran has turned off a number of cameras installed by the global nuclear watchdog after Western powers introduced a resolution to censure it. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) announced on Wednesday that it has turned off the Online Enrichment Monitor (OLEM) and flowmeter system of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at an unidentified nuclear site.
All the dismantled monitoring systems were installed voluntarily and beyond the framework of the safeguards agreement with the IAEA, the AEOI said. The AEOI statement added that more than 80 percent of existing IAEA cameras are covered by the safeguards agreement and therefore remain in place and operational.
The organisation said the IAEA had been informed of the move, which appears to have been implemented on Wednesday.
