Iran has agreed to reconnect cameras and other monitoring equipment at its nuclear sites and increase the pace of inspections according to the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Rafael Grossi’s visit to Tehran came days after the IAEA reported that uranium particles enriched up to 83.7 percent (just short of weapons-grade) were found at an underground nuclear site in Iran.
