IAEA chief arrives in Iran for expected talks with President Raisi and other officials after discovery of uranium particles reportedly enriched to near weapons-grade level
IAEA head Rafael Grossi [L] is seen with Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi.
The two-day visit by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] comes as the Vienna-based organisation seeks greater cooperation with Iran over its nuclear activities. Grossi had made clear "that he was only prepared to go to Tehran if he had an invitation to speak with the president," the source added.
Tehran denies wanting to acquire atomic weapons, and said it had not made any attempt to enrich uranium beyond 60 percent purity.
