Discussions on broader access for IAEA inspectors are underway, but an agreement has not yet been reached.
Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have returned to Iran, marking the first on-the-ground monitoring activities since Israeli and U.S. attacks targeted Iranian nuclear facilities.
The development, confirmed by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi on Wednesday, came as a critical deadline at the end of this month looms for potential renewed international sanctions against Tehran.
The agreement, a technical document signed in Cairo a day earlier, was initially presented as a crucial breakthrough.
"The atomic bombs that I experienced 80 years ago were like babies compared to today’s nuclear weapons," said Kodama.
The move by France, Germany, and the United Kingdom is intended to intensify pressure on Iran's strained economy.
Talks between the E3 and Iran marked their first formal round since the 12-day conflict with Israel and the U.S. in June.
The cuts in resources and posts are part of a broader goal to reduce the U.N.'s current budget of $3.72 billion by up to 20%.
The commission concluded that statements by Israeli officials and the pattern of military conduct provided direct evidence.
The world body's global humanitarian appeal, which had required $46.10 billion, is funded at only 19% of its target.
The agreement also includes robust transparency requirements and a dedicated committee on compliance.
