IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi met Sunday with Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland, according to a statement from Grossi. The meeting focused on recent developments regarding Iran, the path forward, and the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Grossi said that at this critical juncture, diplomacy should be given every chance to succeed, and thanked Switzerland for its longstanding support for the agency.
The meeting comes as the US and Iran engage in talks at the same venue — the Bürgenstock resort — under Swiss facilitation. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Cassis at the same location. The IAEA's role in the talks is expected to include monitoring and verification of any future nuclear understandings. Grossi's direct engagement with the Swiss hosts underscores the agency's central part in the diplomatic track.
No further details on the content of the Grossi-Cassis meeting were disclosed.
