BREAKING
Grossi: There are no accusations against the Iranian nuclear program. We are talking about certain reports.
Grossi: The claims that Iran's nuclear program is not peaceful or not military military cannot be verified. The IAEA does not make accusations and only investigates.
Grossi: "Israel" is raising many concerns, and we are attempting to resolve them diplomatically. Its officials' talk about an attack is its government's responsibility.
Grossi: It is important to see determination from the Syrian president and to have a short timeframe to work there.
Grossi: The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was tailored for the circumstances at the time. Their time is up, and the agreement cannot be revived.
Grossi: [Interim Syrian President] al-Sharaa gave us access to Syria, and we are now able to make many revelations. My visit there was highly important.
Grossi: What we are doing in Syria is extremely important. The issue was suspended for the longest time and we were unable to carry out our duties there.
Grossi: We are not waiting for what may happen in the indirect negotiations, and we are aware that Iran’s stance on them will greatly impact other matters.
Grossi: Enrichment in Iran is not prohibited, but a country accumulating it and approaching weapons-grade levels cannot be overlooked.
Grossi: The situation in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, is fragile, and the ongoing deterioration of infrastructure continues to affect nuclear safety.

  • Iraq reports of sixth round of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia
    Relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia have had their ups and downs.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein announced on Tuesday that the next and sixth round of talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran will be carried out via intelligence services.

On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Hussein told a reporter, "but one thing I know - the process of negotiation will continue and perhaps the next round, once again, it will continue on the level of the intelligence service people. Then, we hope that after the next round, it will be different."

Over the past months, Iraq hosted rounds of talks between Tehran and Riyadh, with the aim of softening up the tensions between the two countries. 

The two countries, which had their diplomatic ties cut in 2016, held their last round of talks in April of this year at the security level. 

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said about the meeting that it was "comprehensive, good and serious," but it has not yet reached the stage of real political dialogue, suggesting the possibility of rapid progress if that is reached.

In July, Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said the next meeting between Saudi Arabia and Iran will be held in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and will be a public one.
