UN nuclear watchdog hopes Iran talks can prevent further conflict in region
The head of the UN nuclear watchdog sought on Monday to emphasize the importance of his team's arrival in Iran for technical talks with nuclear experts and to express his hope that the discussions will allow the agency to monitor the country's nuclear program and ultimately prevent further conflict in the region.
Iranian officials confirmed that the technical team from the International Atomic Energy Agency had arrived on Monday in Iran to hold technical talks, including on safeguards. It follows IAEA director general Rafael Grossi's visit to Tehran earlier this month and nuclear talks in Omar last week.
The current flurry of diplomatic meetings stem from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers that placed tough restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities that increased its breakout time to at least a year.
