The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency: “There are ‘great expectations’ in the talks with Iran”

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said talks are continuing with Iran on two sets of important matters including the science sector, and there are “great expectations” about the process.

Rafael Grossi began meetings in Tehran on Friday that diplomats say are designed to push Iran to cooperate with an IAEA investigation into traces of uranium found at undeclared sites that have been enriched close to weapons grade. Grossi, who spoke during a joint press conference with Mohammad Aslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization , said that the talks are taking place in an “atmosphere of work, honesty and cooperation”.
