The chairman of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IBA), Rafael Grossi, announced today that the agency has reached an agreement with Iran that will allow the agency to continue to monitor the country's nuclear facilities.
Grossi arrived in the country today for a quick visit in order to reach an agreement that would allow the supervision of Iran's nuclear program.
"The agreement with Iran gives us an immediate correction of the situation and will allow for continued monitoring and monitoring of Iran's nuclear sites," Grossi said, adding that very soon the agency will have the technical means to monitor Iran's nuclear program.

Grossi added that in the coming days inspectors will arrive in the area and new equipment will be installed, and this repair that has been damaged over the months Iran has refused to allow inspectors access or allow surveillance by cameras or other equipment of the progress of the Iranian nuclear program.
"I received a heartfelt invitation to return to Iran very soon to continue the talks. I hope to meet with the country's leadership soon. This is not a permanent solution but a means of mediation that will allow the nuclear talks to continue," Grossi said.
The crisis between the agency and Iran caused outrage in the United States and last week US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken threatened that Iran's refusal to accept inspectors and surveillance equipment could lead to the collapse of talks on the United States' return to the nuclear deal with Iran.
