IAEA Official to Visit Iran, No Nuclear Site Visits Planned

IAEA Official to Visit Iran, No Nuclear Site Visits Planned

A top official from the UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, is going to Iran for discussions.

The discussions will decide how the IAEA and Iran will work together.

This meeting comes after tensions have risen, with the IAEA not being able to check Iran's nuclear sites since June.

Iran says it is not trying to build nuclear weapons and is still following the rules of the NPT.

Iran passed a law that says the IAEA needs permission from Iran's top security group to inspect the nuclear sites.

The goal of the IAEA is to make sure that Iran's nuclear activities are peaceful.
