Chief of UN nuclear watchdog to visit Iran

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, is planning a visit to Iran after a phone call with the country's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, who has called on the IAEA to have a clear stance regarding recent open US threats against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities.

Grossi said he would consult with the other parties to create a favorable atmosphere to help resolve the existing issues as Iran toughens its stance and prepares for any attack by outside forces.

In an X post on Tuesday, Araghchi said that 10 years after signing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and seven years after the United States withdrew from it, "there is not one shred of proof that Iran has violated this commitment".
