IAEA Director Rafael Grossi stressed the need to resume cooperation with Iran to verify nuclear activities and proposed a meeting with Iranian officials.

In a statement, Rafael Grossi stressed that resuming cooperation with the IAEA is crucial for a diplomatic agreement to resolve the nuclear dispute with Iran. He wrote to the Iranian foreign minister proposing a meeting to discuss cooperation. IAEA inspectors are set to check Iran's stockpiles of nuclear materials, and Grossi has again requested access to nuclear facilities to clarify the fate of enriched uranium. Iran could suspend cooperation with the IAEA, but has reaffirmed its intention to continue developing its nuclear program.
