IRAN
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical Market NewsPolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletEnergy BulletsBulletEmerging Market News

In a joint presser alongside International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization Mohammed Eslami claims that the talks between the two that took place today in Tehran 'have been positive', and that the two sides will continue to interact over 'unresolved issues'.

  • Eslami states that "TheMarch 2023 joint statementprovides a good basis for Iran-IAEA cooperation. Today we reviewed the achievements of the joint statement."
  • Grossi says that the March 2023 statement is 'still valid', and that the sides are 'now planning for practical steps' regarding the statement. Laurence Norman at the WSJ posts on X that Grossi is "crystal clear that he’s not entering into a new agreement with Iran. He’s looking at concrete steps to implement the 2023 joint statement. “Everything is there. What we need is to have necessary substance to it.”
  • Despite the seemingly cordial tone taken by both sides, there remain major concerns at the IAEA, and in the West, about Iran's nuclear programme. Reuters: "Iran is enriching uranium to up to 60% purity, close to the around 90% of weapons grade. If that material were enriched further, it would suffice for two nuclear weapons, according to an official IAEA yardstick."
