A source close to the Iranian negotiating team in Geneva told a journalist that Tehran has no intention of meeting IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi during the current round of US-Iran nuclear talks in Switzerland. The source said the United States requested Grossi's presence at the talks but encountered Iranian opposition, according to an unconfirmed account from the source. The development comes as US Vice President JD Vance and envoys Witkoff and Kushner are already in Switzerland for the first round of negotiations, as The Zioneer reported earlier. Grossi had urged that diplomacy be given every chance to succeed, meeting with the Swiss foreign minister earlier today. The source's account suggests a hardening of Iran's stance on international oversight, though the claim is based on a single anonymous report and has not been independently corroborated.
