I.A.E.A. Chief Grossi Reaffirms Support for Iran-U.S. Indirect Talks

In a recent phone call, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and I.A.E.A. Director-General Rafael Grossi discussed the pivotal role of the International Atomic Energy Agency in facilitating indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States. This conversation highlights the ongoing collaboration and the importance of diplomatic efforts regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

During their discussion, several key points were addressed:

  • Grossi emphasized the I.A.E.A.’s readiness to assist in the negotiations.
  • Araqchi reiterated the significance of the I.A.E.A.’s role in Iran’s nuclear program, aligning with its legal responsibilities.
  • Iran, as a committed member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, is dedicated to cooperating with the I.A.E.A. in line with its international obligations.
  • Araqchi expressed hope that the Agency’s technical approach would expedite the resolution of outstanding safeguards issues.
  • He provided updates on the latest developments in the Iran-U.S. talks.

Araqchi had previously stated in April that the I.A.E.A. could significantly contribute to achieving a peaceful resolution regarding Iran’s nuclear program. He mentioned on his X account:

“Had useful discussion with visiting IAEA chief Grossi. In the coming months, the Agency can play a crucial role in peaceful settlement of the Iranian nuclear file.”

Moreover, Araqchi highlighted concerns about various parties attempting to disrupt the negotiations, emphasizing the need for a “Director General of Peace.” He concluded his remarks by expressing trust in Grossi’s ability to maintain the I.A.E.A.’s focus on its technical mandate, free from political influence:

“Our predisposition is to trust Grossi in mission to keep the Agency away from politics and politicization, and to retain focus on its technical mandate.”

This ongoing dialogue reflects the intricate dynamics of international diplomacy surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the vital role of the I.A.E.A. in fostering peaceful resolutions.
