The head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog has announced plans to travel to Iran in the coming days to engage in discussions regarding the country's nuclear program. The visit by the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) comes at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, with uncertainties surrounding the approach of the incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump towards Iran.
The purpose of the visit is to facilitate high-level meetings with the Iranian government and to conduct technical discussions on various aspects related to the joint statement agreed with Iran in March 2023. This initiative aims to foster cooperation between the IAEA and Iran in expanding inspections of the Islamic Republic’s advancing atomic program.
