Three-minutes read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n On November 13, 2024, Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), visited Tehran for critical discussions about Iran’s nuclear program amid rising international concerns. This trip, taking place at a delicate juncture, highlighted both the urgency of the nuclear issue and the increasing tension surrounding the regime\u2019s lack of cooperation. “The international situation is becoming increasingly tense,” Grossi warned prior to his departure for Tehran. “The room for maneuver on nuclear issues is shrinking.”<\/p>\n While in Tehran, Grossi met with key figures, including Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Atomic Energy Organization head Mohammad Eslami<\/a>, and President Masoud Pezeshkian. Grossi described the visit as a “mission of utmost importance,” emphasizing the necessity of constructive dialogue to address unresolved questions about Iran\u2019s nuclear activities.<\/p>\n The regime adopted a noticeably softer tone during Grossi\u2019s visit, signaling an intention to cooperate. President Pezeshkian assured Grossi that Iran’s nuclear activities were strictly peaceful and aligned with a “clear fatwa” by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which prohibits the development of nuclear weapons. “No one is allowed to deviate from this policy,” Pezeshkian asserted<\/a>, while also expressing Tehran\u2019s readiness to resolve ambiguities. Similarly, Eslami portrayed interactions with the IAEA as productive, stating, “Our contacts have always been constructive, and during this visit, we had good discussions.” Araghchi added that the regime hoped the discussions would help “reduce tensions” and pave the way for “reasonable solutions before the situation becomes more critical.”<\/p>\n #Iran<\/a> News in Brief — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) August 23, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
