IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has called for urgent progress in restoring nuclear inspections in Iran, calling it a critical step toward broader diplomatic breakthroughs. Speaking at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting Monday, Grossi emphasized that technical discussions with Tehran are advancing, but time is running short. ⏳
Why It Matters
Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA in June following strikes on its nuclear facilities and the assassination of its scientists. Yet, Grossi remains cautiously optimistic, stating that renewed inspections could create "promising ground" for global security efforts. 🔍
Behind the Scenes
While Grossi admitted "progress has been made," he stressed the need for "good faith" from all sides. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi echoed this sentiment Saturday, revealing that a new cooperation framework with the IAEA is nearly finalized. 🤝
What’s Next?
With tensions high, the world is watching whether these talks can prevent further escalation. As Grossi put it: "There is still time… when there is a clear sense of responsibility." 🌱
