UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi says he has written to Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to propose a meeting, and urged cooperation after a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was announced.
Soon after the announcement of the truce, Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel, which vowed to respond forcefully.
Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says in a post on X that Iran resuming cooperation with the agency could lead to a diplomatic solution to the long-standing controversy over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons. However, it has enriched uranium to levels that have no peaceful application, has obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities, and expanded its ballistic missile capabilities. Israel says Tehran has recently taken steps toward weaponization.
