The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog says he is concerned the international community is losing interest in holding Iran to account over its advancing nuclear program.
The comments follow an easing of tensions between Iran and the United States, which announced a prisoner swap last month.
Last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in confidential reports seen by AFP that Iran had made “no progress” on several outstanding nuclear issues.
IAEA director general Rafael Grossi says he has noticed a “decrease in interest” from IAEA member states, without naming them.
“There is a certain routinization of what is going on there [in Iran] and I am concerned about this, because the issues are as valid today as they were before,” he tells reporters on the first day of the IAEA board of governors’ meeting in Vienna.
