Vienna, Aug 26 (EFE) .The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi was in Tehran on Wednesday where he secured a green-light from Iranian officials to inspect two sites suspected of having hosted secretive nuclear activities.After months of failing to reach a deal, Iran’s nuclear agency AEOI and the the United Nations nuclear watchdog released a joint statement committing to “further reinforce their cooperation and enhance mutual trust.” (Camera: Jordi Kuhs)FOOTAGE SHOWS B-ROLL OF DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE AEOI RAFAEL GROSSI UPON HIS ARRIVAL IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA.
The UN's nuclear watchdog says Iran appears to have worked on designing an atomic bomb and may still be conducting secret research. US nuclear proliferation expert David Albright says: "I think the facts lay out a pretty overwhelming case that this was a pretty sophisticated effort aimed at miniaturising a warhead for a ballistic missile".
Iran’s parliament in December approved a bill that would suspend part of UN inspections of its nuclear facilities if European signatories do not provide relief from oil and banking sanctions by Tuesday, February 23.
Rafael Grossi, head of the UN nuclear watchdog IAEA, was in Tehran on Sunday for talks ahead of a deadline when Iran is set to restrict the agency’s inspections unless the United States lifts sanctions. Tehran has described the meetings with Grossi as "fruitful".
"There are specific roles in that the EU can play and should play," says Tehran's United Nations Ambassador, Majid Takht-Ravanchi.
