Iran's Concessions To IAEA Largely Hinge On Future Talks, Grossi Says

IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi speaks at a news conference upon his arrival from Iran at Vienna International Airport in Schwechat, Austria, on March 4.

Iran's concessions to UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi during his visit to Tehran depend largely on future negotiations, Grossi conceded, walking back some earlier comments. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran said they had agreed to make progress on various issues, including a long-stalled IAEA inquiry into uranium particles found at three undeclared sites in Iran. Grossi told reporters on March 4 they had agreed to reinstall all extra monitoring equipment but said on March 6 that "we will have to discuss...this, how do we do it," conceding this and other issues would hinge on future technical talks.
