IRAN: Tehran Looks To Signal Openess To Talks w/E3 Amid IAEA Nuclear Plant Visit

IRAN
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timeCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletGlobalEmerging Market NewsMiddle EastIranEnergy BulletsBulletRegion

Reuters report comments attributed to an unnamed senior Iranian official following talks between Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi in Tehran earlier today. Claims the Iranian gov't 'plans to send a message to the E3 (France, Germany, UK) via Grossi that Tehran is serious about resolving a nuclear standoff.' Adds Iran 'has a renewed determination to take confidence-building steps [and] remove sanctions'. The official says Grossi 'will deliver a message on Tehran's behalf that pressure [on Iran] will have the opposite effect [than intended]'. 

  • Grossi said earlier "Tomorrow will be a very important step in my visit this time, since I am going to be visiting important facilities in Fordo and Natanz, which are also going to help me in having a full picture of the evolution of the programme." Allowing the IAEA DG into the Fordo and Natanz facilities, seen as the hub of Iran's uranium enrichment programme, could be seen as a signal to the West of Tehran's intentions to facilitate talks.
  • As noted earlier, the uncertainty facing Iran regarding the prospect of a more belligerent US once Donald Trump takes power (see 'IRAN: Tehran Signals Willingness On IAEA Talks As Trump Admin Looms', 0834GMT) is seemingly pushing Tehran to seek talks with the E3 European nations, potentially so that they can try to temper any US action if it appears that a new agreement to replace the 2015 nuclear deal might be in the offing.
