MEHR: The head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi is likely to visit Iran.
Mohammad Eslami said that Iran's interactions with the IAEA continue in a normal routine, and discussions are held to resolve ambiguities and develop cooperation, announcing that Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi expressed his desire to travel to Iran.
He noted that the IAEA chief is invited to attend the 30th National Nuclear Conference in Iran which coincides with the beginning of the first International Nuclear Conference.
According to Eslami, the AEOI conference will be held in the month of Ordibehest in the Iranian calendar (April 20-May 21).
“Grossi has expressed his willingness to travel to Iran, and this trip will take place when arrangements are made,” he added.
“We should take this trip as an opportunity given the first international nuclear conference," he also said.
Regarding the IAEA's reports on Iran's nuclear situation, he said that the IAEA issues a report on Iran’s nuclear situation and sends it to the IAEA board of directors and the United Nations Security Council respectively every three months and every six months.
One part of the report includes Iran’s activities in the nuclear industry and the other part relates to the July 2015 nuclear agreement, aka Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), between Iran and the six world powers, the AEOI head announced.
On the first day of the US unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA in May 2018, Iran reduced its commitments to the international deal based on Articles 26 and 36 of the deal.
