Iran Agrees to Replace Cameras at Nuclear Site but Blocks Images

(New York Times) Steven Erlanger - Iran agreed Wednesday to replace International Atomic Energy Agency surveillance cameras at a key site at Karaj that manufactures parts for advanced centrifuges.

There is a growing sense, in Israel as well as in Washington, that Iran does not intend to return to the 2015 deal but is buying time as it continues to make gains in the production of enriched uranium and uranium metal, needed for a weapon. In a joint statement on Monday, the European negotiators said, "As of this moment, we still have not been able to get down to real negotiations. We are losing precious time dealing with new Iranian positions inconsistent with the JCPOA or that go beyond it."
