A Channel 14 report cites US assessments suggesting Iran is waiting to see the return of IAEA inspectors as a preliminary step before engaging further in diplomatic talks. The report is framed as an American impression, not a confirmed intelligence assessment.
A Channel 14 report, citing unnamed US sources, indicates that Iranian leadership is waiting for the return of IAEA inspectors to its nuclear facilities as a first gesture before moving forward with broader diplomatic negotiations. The report frames this as an assessment circulating among American officials, not a confirmed intelligence finding. The timing coincides with ongoing US-Iran nuclear talks; as The Zioneer has reported over the past two weeks, the negotiations have seen conflicting signals — including reports of a US retreat from some positions and an apparent Iranian leaning toward approval of a framework, alongside deep skepticism in Israel about Tehran's intentions. The IAEA angle, if accurate, would mark a concrete demand from Iran before substantive talks proceed.
