UN nuclear chief in Tehran ahead of fresh Iran-US talks

UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi met with Iran’s atomic energy head, Mohammad Eslami, ahead of new nuclear talks in Rome between Iranian and US delegations, following significant discussions since the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal. Grossi emphasized the IAEA’s crucial role in ensuring the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed concerns over the need for constructive US positions to avoid complications in negotiations. Tensions remain as Iran’s uranium enrichment exceeds the limits established by the 2015 agreement, raising international concerns about its nuclear ambitions.
