UNITED NATIONS — UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi says a team of inspectors was on its way to Iran should Tehran and European powers reach a deal this week to avert the reimposition of international sanctions.
Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Grossi says there were “intense” conversations between him, Iran, European powers, and the United States to find a solution.
“We have just a few hours, days, to see whether something can be achieved, and this is the effort in which we are all embarked on,” he says.
