Iran has cancelled the accreditation of an international nuclear inspector who was recently prevented from entering a nuclear facility.<br />For more on this and other news from around the world, let's turn to our Kim Da-mi.<br />Da-mi, this incident is the first of its kind since the Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2015.<br />Right Mark, like you said, Iran insists that it blocked an unnamed IAEA inspector from accessing its Natanz site last week because she may have been carrying "suspicious material."<br />Iranian ambassador Kazem Gharib Abadi confirmed this at an IAEA meeting held in Vienna on Thursday.<br />According to the ambassador, an alarm went off while the inspector tried to enter the facility.<br />Abadi then underlined that any behavior that violates security and safety of Iran's nuclear sites is not be acceptable just like it wouldn't be in other IAEA member countries.<br />Iran added that the inspector later left the country without completing her visit.<br />The IAEA, however, disagrees with Tehran's account, adding that the inspector was also temporarily prevented from leaving Iran.<br />The European Union and the U.S. expressed deep regret, calling the inspector's detention an "outrageous provocation."<br />Just days after the episode, Iran resumed uranium enrichment at its underground Fordow facility, transforming it into an active nuclear site.<br />
