(24 Aug 2020) Iranian Foreign Ministry on Monday said that the Secretary-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency would arrive in Tehran in the following evening for talks with senior officials over the nuclear deal.
Saeed Khatibzadeh, the newly-appointed spokesman, said the trip was supposed to take place since Rafael Grossi was elected in the fall of 2019 but was postponed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The head of the U.N.'s atomic watchdog agency will head to Tehran next week to press Iranian authorities for access to sites where the country is thought to have stored or used undeclared nuclear material, the organization said Saturday.
It will be the first visit to Iran of International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi since he took office last December, and comes amid intense international pressure on the country over its nuclear program.
The focus will be on access to sites thought to be from the early 2000s, before Iran signed the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
Iran maintains the IAEA inspectors have no legal basis to inspect the sites.
Khatibzadeh underlined that the trip seeks to further consolidate the relationship between Iran and the Agency and any existing problems could be resolved if the IAEA acts impartially within the technical framework and keeps away from "political pressures."
Since President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled the U.S. out of the nuclear deal with Iran in 2018, the other countries involved — France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China — have been struggling to keep it alive.
