In a post on X, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that he and IAEA chief Rafael Grossi had “agreed on practical modalities to resume inspection activities in Iran” during a meeting in Cairo. This agreement comes amid threats from European powers to reimpose sanctions on Iran.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty welcomed the cooperation framework between Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog on Tuesday, stating that it could open a “new path” to talks over Iran’s nuclear program. At a joint press conference in Cairo with Araghchi and Grossi, Abdelatty expressed his hope that the deal would first “enable an understanding” with European powers and then “lead to a return to the negotiation table between Iran and the United States.”
