Imagine a world where nuclear tensions ease and cooperation returns! 🌍🔍 At the Monday session of the IAEA Board of Governors, Director General Rafael Grossi highlighted how restoring inspections in Iran could create promising ground for wider progress in nuclear safety.
Grossi stressed that Iran’s nuclear program has been at the heart of IAEA efforts. He has been reaching out continuously to rebuild this vital partnership, and ongoing technical discussions are already showing signs of positive movement. 🤝⚙️
Why does this matter? Strong IAEA–Iran cooperation can drive key diplomatic processes and unlock positive outcomes. As Grossi said, "There is still time, not much, but always enough when there is good faith and a clear sense of responsibility." ⏳💡
Cooperation paused after Israeli–U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and the tragic loss of scientists in June. Still, the watchdog kept channels open with Iran’s authorities, keeping the door ajar for a fresh start.
On Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Iran and the IAEA are "very close" to agreeing on a new framework for resuming bilateral cooperation. Could this be the breakthrough moment we’ve been waiting for? Stay tuned! 🎯🤞
