Iran won't accept any additional demands beyond its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal. This is what the country's top nuclear official said on Tuesday as the chief of the UN nuclear watchdog (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, made his first visit to Iran.
Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency arrived in Iran on Monday to press for access to sites where the Islamic Republic is suspected of having stored or used undeclared nuclear material.
Grossi took over the IAEA after the sudden death of its late director-general Yukiya Amano last year.
Grossi's visit comes as the U.S. is pushing to "snapback" UN sanctions on Iran for allegedly violating the nuclear deal with world powers.
The IAEA repeatedly found Iran in compliance with the agreement until last year, when Tehran began breaking the deal's limits on nuclear enrichment in response to heavy U.S. sanctions following U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrawing America from the accord.
According to the IRNA news agency Iran Atomic Energy Agency Director Ali Ekber Salehi stated that the negotiations with the IAEA delegation were "constructive" and added: "It has been decided that the institution will continue to work professionally and independently, and that Iran will act within its own commitments."
