Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is scheduled to visit Iran on the 5th to hold talks with senior local officials, AFP reported on the 3rd (local time).

After his visit to Iran, Director General Grossi will return to Vienna, Austria, where the IAEA headquarters is located, to hold a press conference and explain the results of the talks.

At the IAEA Board of Governors meeting held the previous day, Grossi stated that he would never give up on attempts to reveal the fact that nuclear material had existed in several undeclared sites in Iran in the past.

Over the past few years, the IAEA has demanded explanations from Iranian authorities regarding signs of nuclear material presence at four different sites.

Based on the Additional Protocol of the nuclear agreement (JCPOA - Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) signed by Iran, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China, the IAEA has conducted nuclear inspections in Iran. However, after former U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018 and reinstated sanctions against Iran, Iran has restricted IAEA inspections and increased uranium enrichment levels.
