ISTANBUL
The director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said Tuesday that he reached an understanding with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on resuming inspection activities in the country.
“In Cairo today, agreed with Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi on practical modalities to resume inspection activities in Iran. This is an important step in the right direction,” Grossi said on the US social media company X.
He thanked Egypt’s Foreign Ministry and its top diplomat for helping reach the understanding between the two sides.
“Grateful to Egypt’s Badr Abdelatty for his commitment and engagement,” Grossi added.
Egypt has been mediating between Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog to resolve their dispute after Tehran suspended cooperation with the IAEA following recent US and Israeli strikes on the country, accusing the agency with bias against Tehran.
The Egyptian and Iranian foreign ministers held talks in Cairo early Tuesday on bilateral relations and Iran’s nuclear file.
