IAEA chief says Iran nuclear inspections will go ahead soon
The UN nuclear watchdog will carry out inspections in Iran soon, following an interim peace accord between the United States and Iran, but specifics have yet to be finalised, the agency's chief, Rafael Grossi, said on Wednesday.
The interim deal paved the way for 60 days of talks aimed at a wider agreement, including on issues related to Iran's nuclear programme.
"The inspections will indeed take place," Grossi told a press conference in Japan, an audio recording of which the IAEA posted online.
"We will be working on the modalities - dates, procedures, places - very soon," he said of discussions with Tehran.
