Despite Grossi`s assessment that the Sept. 12 deal will help the agency maintain continuity of knowledge about Iran`s nuclear program, there could still be gaps that are difficult to fill if and when the nuclear deal is reinstated. The September 7 report noted that Iran removed four cameras from a centrifuge component manufacturing plant in June. Iran claimed the cameras were damaged when the facility was attacked by a drone on June 23, but initially did not allow inspectors to replace the cameras.
When the IAEA was launched on the 4th. September was able to examine the remote monitoring equipment, inspectors determined that the data storage unit did not belong to the debris of one of the destroyed cameras.

September reached an agreement allowing the agency`s inspectors to access remote monitoring equipment at some nuclear facilities in Iran to maintain the units and install new data storage.

The snapback is designed in such a way that no veto can be inserted. The Security Council rejected the U.S. attempt, stating that the U.S. had withdrawn from the agreement and that the mechanism for reintroducing sanctions was only available to parties to the JCPOA.
