IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced the agency will participate in upcoming talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland, according to a report. The talks are expected to address the Iranian nuclear program.
Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), announced Thursday the agency will take part in the upcoming US-Iran talks planned for Switzerland, according to an IAEA statement cited by a regional correspondent. The announcement joins a series of developments around a potential nuclear understanding between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman had cast doubt on whether a Friday meeting would proceed as scheduled, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned last week that a deal could be signed in Switzerland as early as Sunday. The IAEA's confirmed participation adds an international verification dimension to the talks, though the precise date and venue remain unconfirmed. It is not yet clear whether the talks will address the lifting of sanctions and frozen assets, issues Iran has previously highlighted as conditions for progress.
