IAEA official leaves Iran after meeting on future contacts, Tehran says

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi tells the state-run IRNA news agency that International Atomic Energy Agency Deputy Director General Massimo Aparo has left Iran, following meetings.

Aparo, who is head of safeguards for the UN nuclear watchdog, met with an Iranian delegation including officials from the foreign ministry and the atomic energy organization, to discuss “the method of interaction between the agency and Iran,” he says.

Gharibabadi adds that they decided to continue consultations in the future, without providing further details.

The IAEA does not immediately issue a statement about the visit by the agency’s deputy head, which Iran says does not include any planned access to Iranian nuclear sites.
