IAEA chief proposes meeting with Iran’s foreign minister amid nuclear talks

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said he has written to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, proposing a meeting to help resolve the long-standing dispute over Tehran’s nuclear program.

“I welcome the latest statements on Iran. Renewed cooperation with the IAEA is key to a successful agreement,” Grossi posted on X.

He said he emphasized that renewed engagement could pave the way for a diplomatic solution and offered to meet “soon.”

Grossi’s message comes as U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran and Israel have agreed to begin implementing a ceasefire arrangement.
