Iran has indicated that it will be ready to restart technical-level discussions on its nuclear program with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, says IAEA head Rafael Grossi.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has said it must be allowed to resume inspections after Israeli and US airstrikes last month that aimed to destroy Iran’s nuclear program and deny it the capacity to build a nuclear weapon.
Rafael Grossi says in Singapore that Iran must be transparent about its facilities and activities.
He tells reporters that the IAEA had proposed that Iran start discussions on “the modalities as to how to restart or begin [inspections] again.”
“So this is what we are planning to do, perhaps starting on technical details and, later on, moving on to high-level consultations. So this will not include inspections yet,” he adds.
Grossi says he has no further information from Iran on the status and whereabouts of its stock of some 400kg of highly enriched uranium.
“This is why it is so important that we engage as soon as possible and that we can start our inspection,” he says.
