International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi announced he will travel to Tehran later this week, ahead of the next round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States.

Grossi stated that the visit aims to hold “technical and constructive” discussions with Iranian officials regarding the country’s nuclear program, emphasizing the need for transparency and cooperation moving forward.

His visit comes as international efforts resume to revive the stalled nuclear talks amid heightened regional tensions and growing friction between Tehran and Washington.
