IAEA Director General: US and Iran May Hold Talks in Pakistan

According to the Italian newspaper La Stampa on the 25th, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated that the United States and Iran might hold talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, this weekend.

In an interview with La Stampa, Grossi said the talks would cover not only nuclear energy but also missile issues and Iran’s security guarantees.

Grossi pointed out that the U.S. demands Iran achieve “zero uranium enrichment,” while Iran is concerned with civilian nuclear programs and nuclear autonomy. He believes that the U.S. and Iran can reach consensus on these issues. He also mentioned that Iran’s nuclear facilities have been damaged in the U.S.-Israeli military strikes, but not decisively.

Regarding feasible solutions to resolve the current conflict, Grossi said that peace must be achieved first, and “military action is not the way to solve the problem.”

In 2015, Iran reached the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, and Germany. Under the agreement, Iran limited its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions by the UN, the U.S., and the EU. However, in 2018, the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA, reimposing and escalating sanctions on Iran.
