Iran Reports Progress in Vienna Talks with IAEA

Tehran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has announced progress following the latest round of discussions between Iranian representatives and the agency in Vienna.

Reza Najafi, Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the IAEA, announced that the meeting took place on Friday evening, with the agency’s deputy director general for safeguards, The Caspian Post reports, citing IRNA.

The session followed earlier discussions in Tehran with another IAEA deputy chief.

Najafi said both sides continued the talks launched in Tehran, focusing on Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA in light of new circumstances created by the “illegal attacks” by the United States and Israel on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities.

Iran also outlined its new conditions for engagement with the IAEA under legislation recently passed by parliament, he added.

He confirmed that progress was achieved and that talks will continue to finalize a guideline for future interactions.
