“It’s outrageous because these nuclear plant facilities were
certified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as purely
peaceful facilities. The inspectors, they spent, there, a lot of
time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Iran is the most verifiable
country, thousands of inspections. The agency knows everything
about what is going on.” BBC journalist Farnaz Ghazizadeh speaks
to Mikhail Ivanovich Ulyanov, Russia’s ambassador to the
International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, about the collapse
of diplomacy over Iran’s nuclear programme and whether
negotiations can still be rescued. With decades of experience in
disarmament and nuclear negotiations, Ulyanov insists Iran’s
nuclear programme is already among the most heavily monitored in
the world, and argues concerns over the programme have been
exaggerated. Now, as conflict in the region intensifies, Russia
is offering to act as a mediator. The Interview brings you
