UN Nuclear Chief says achieving 'results' with Iran vital to avoid 'war'

International Atomic Energy Agency Chief Grossi on Thursday said “concrete, tangible, visible results” were needed in the dispute over Iran's nuclear programme to avoid a war, after he met top leaders in Tehran for talks on reviving a deal.

Grossi is in the country for talks on allowing UN inspections of Tehran's nuclear compounds and resurrecting an agreement that collapsed in 2018. Grossi is expected to meet President Pezeshkian later on Thursday. It is his second visit to Tehran this year. He said finding a solution to the nuclear dispute was crucial to “avoid the possibilities of war”.
