UN Nuclear Watchdog Head in Iran as Trump’s Return Raises Worries | Vantage with Palki Sharma UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi is on a visit to Tehran to restore access to Iran’s programme. He met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Behrouz Kamalvandi,

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency is warning that the “space for negotiation and diplomacy ... is getting smaller” over Iran’s advancing atomic program as wars in the Mideast rage on and as President Donald Trump will return to the White House.

As Iran braces for another Trump presidency, which last time saw the dissolution of the Iran nuclear deal, the director of the UN's nuclear watchdog agency holds talks in Tehran regarding the Iranian nuclear program.

Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, says the window of opportunity to diplomatically engage with Iran is beginning to "shrink."

International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi was to hold talks with top Iranian officials Thursday on Tehran's nuclear programme, a week after Donald Trump's re-election as US president.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday that Iran will not negotiate under "intimidation" as he held crunch talks with the UN nuclear chief weeks before US President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
