The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, led by Rafael Grossi, is planning inspections in Iran after an interim U.S.-Iran accord. Despite Tehran's hesitance, discussions continue regarding Iran's nuclear program, emphasizing the handling of highly enriched uranium. Sanctions remain a pivotal point in these international negotiations.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, under chief Rafael Grossi's leadership, announced forthcoming inspections in Iran amid ongoing nuclear program talks facilitated by an interim U.S.-Iran accord.
