Iran urges IAEA to be impartial, hopes Grossi's visit will bear fruit

In a meeting with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi in Vienna, Iran's new envoy to the UN nuclear watchdog Reza Najafi expressed hope that Grossi’s trip to Tehran on Wednesday would help reinforce cooperation between the two sides.

He also urged the IAEA to remain "independent, impartial and focused on technical matters."

"Continued engagement and cooperation with the Agency is essential at a time when diplomatic solutions are urgently needed," Grossi had said earlier in a post on X.
