Iran agrees to IAEA visit in coming weeks

Iran has agreed to receive a technical team of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which will visit Iran in two to three weeks. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi informed that the visit from the IAEA technical delegation to Iran will happen very soon, in two to three weeks. He said, the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran is assessing the damages to the nuclear installations, and the delegation will come to Iran to discuss the modality. Gharibabadi added that if a new round of negotiations between the US and Iran takes place, it will only be done indirectly.
 
Earlier, Gharibabadi held a special meeting with the ambassadors of the Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the United Nations, during which he detailed the dimensions of the recent acts of aggression by Israel and the US against Iran. Addressing Iran’s nuclear policy, Gharibabadi reiterated that Iran will continue enriching uranium based on its own needs. He dismissed suggestions of a voluntary enrichment freeze as a goodwill gesture in talks with Western countries, citing past disappointments and warning against reliance on third-party enforcement.
