Iran nuclear accord gets 'temporary' fix

IAEA understanding with Teheran buys more time for revival of key pact

VIENNA－The International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, has reached a temporary understanding with Iran to salvage a landmark nuclear deal, its chief said on Sunday.

Iran will stop implementation of the voluntary measures envisaged in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, as of Tuesday, to comply with a law passed by its parliament, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told reporters after a visit to Teheran.

Iran's Foreign Ministry said on Monday that Grossi's visit "resulted in a very significant diplomatic achievement and a very significant technical achievement".
