IAEA: Iran Agrees to Restart Nuclear Program Discussions
The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, said Iran is willing to talk about its nuclear program again.
They will start with small details and then have bigger talks.
Iran will let a team from the IAEA visit, but they can't go to the actual nuclear sites.
The IAEA wants Iran to be clear about what's happening at their sites and what they have in stock of dangerous material.
Iran has a large amount of highly enriched uranium, and it is important to know where it is and what it is doing.
IAEA head Rafael Grossi said Iran is ready to restart technical discussions on its nuclear program.
The discussions would begin with technical details, followed by high-level consultations.
Iran agreed to allow an IAEA technical team visit but not access to nuclear sites.
The IAEA seeks transparency about Iran's facilities and activities.
Grossi has no information on Iran's 400 kg of highly enriched uranium stock.
