Tokyo, June 26 (SANA) International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said on Friday that a “very strong” nuclear verification system will be required in Iran following the recent conflict in the Middle East to ensure the country does not develop nuclear weapons.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Tokyo, Grossi said any future agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme must include “a very strong verification system in place” as soon as is practicable.
He said the IAEA had already held preliminary discussions with Tehran following a recent U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding addressing the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles, adding that technical talks were expected to accelerate in the coming period.
The comments come after U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 23 that Iran had agreed to the most comprehensive level of nuclear inspections for an indefinite period to ensure full transparency.
