Regarding ongoing nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran, Grossi told the Associated Press that he was in “constant contact” with the parties.
“They are negotiating, it’s not us, but it’s clear that the IAEA must be the guarantor of which agreement they came,” he said.
Grossi continues to have a major area competing between the two aspects, especially on uranium enrichment, but they are encouraged to be in direct negotiations and consider both sides to be serious about reaching the deal.
“I think both want agreement, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to get, but since this may sound, it’s a huge advantage to have two aspects that you want agreement,” he said. “In my long diplomatic career, I was involved in negotiations, where it wasn’t that the side wanted an agreement.”
The US and Iran have been holding five rounds of nuclear talks starting April 12th, and are expected to meet again for negotiations aimed at reaching a new agreement. The two countries are at odds at the level of uranium enrichment.
