International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials will visit Tehran in the coming days, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian 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 Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation from a non-political and technical standpoint,” Amirabdollahian added. Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency had earlier reported the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation Mohammad 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”.
