International Atomic Energy Agency Discusses Iran's Nuclear Program
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Council convened a meeting in Vienna, Austria, on the 8th. Director General Rafael Grossi presented the latest developments in nuclear safety and safeguards, with a focus on the Iranian nuclear issue. He noted that despite new laws in Iran that restrict cooperation with the IAEA, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and its safeguards agreement remain in effect for Iran. If Iran does not accept the necessary oversight, the IAEA will be unable to provide any assurances regarding its nuclear program. Grossi stated that the IAEA is continuously engaging with Iran to address concerns and restore cooperation, aiming to resume verification activities in the country.
