Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has stated that the country is open to resolving its differences with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding its nuclear program, but will not do so under pressure. The comments come after a meeting with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, where both sides agreed to proceed with “courage and good will.” The talks come at a tense time, with European powers pushing for a resolution against Iran at the IAEA board meeting next week over concerns about insufficient cooperation.

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has raised concerns about Iran’s uranium enrichment and lack of access to international monitors. He warns that Iran is nearing the point where it could possess enough enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon, but emphasizes that this does not directly imply the development of a nuclear device. Grossi highlights unresolved IAEA findings, including traces of enriched uranium in unexpected locations, which create doubts about Iran’s transparency. Despite the urgency, Grossi remains committed to dialogue and cooperation with Iran.
