Iran: Hossein Amir Abdollahian, Iran's foreign minister, tweeted that an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is possible, and that a meeting will take place shortly.
Amir Abdollahian said on Wednesday that he and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi struck "excellent agreements on maintaining cooperation" during their "cordial, honest, and successful" talks in Tehran on Tuesday.
"However, in order to work out a text, we need to work on a few phrases," he added, cautioning that politicising technical issues is ineffective. The Iranian foreign minister made the comments in apparent response to Grossi's comments of his Tehran visit as "inconclusive" during the agency's quarterly board meeting earlier un the day in Vienna.
Grossi arrived in Iran on Monday evening and met with Amir Abdollahian and Mohammad Eslami, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, on Tuesday to discuss outstanding issues between Iran and the IAEA, including a standoff over monitoring activities at a centrifuge parts production site near Karaj, in the run-up to the Vienna nuclear talks, which are set to resume on November 29.
