“Considerations for Iran’s nuclear program remain at the heart of our efforts, especially after the attacks that took place in June,” Grossi said Monday in Western media.
He argued that the suspension of cooperation under Iran’s new national law cannot override its binding international commitment.
After Israel and the US military strikes in June, Iranian parliament passed the law on June 25th, restricting the work of the institutions approved by President Masuud Pezeshkian on July 2nd.
A new framework for cooperation must require approval from Iran’s highest national security council.
Grossi said technical debates in Tehran and Vienna have made progress towards a practical arrangement to resume surveillance.
“It is my sincere hope that we will be able to reach successful conclusions within the next few days,” he told the governor.
Grossi’s remarks were made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragci on Saturday that Tehran and the IAEA Foreign Ministry were very close to the framework to resume bilateral cooperation after a third round meeting between the mandate of both Vienna on Friday and Saturday.
