BAGHDAD (Dispatches) --
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials will visit Tehran in the coming days, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hussein Amir-Abdollahian said on Wednesday.
“In the framework of concluding negotiations, IAEA officials will travel to Tehran in the coming days,” the minister said during a press briefing with his Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad.
“We hope that IAEA Director Grossi will reach an agreement with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran from a non-political and technical standpoint,” Amir-Abdollahian added.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency had earlier reported head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization Muhammad Eslami as saying that IAEA inspectors had been in Tehran since Tuesday and had started negotiations, visits and checks to resolve “ambiguities created by an inspector”.
Last week, the UN nuclear agency said it was discussing the results of recent verification activities with Iran after Bloomberg News claimed that the agency had detected uranium enriched to 84% purity.
A spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran denied the report on Monday and said Tehran’s uranium enrichment did not exceed 60% purity.
“Through interactions and coordination, we are preventing the rise of new ambiguities and disruptions
