The work of IAEA inspectors in Iran was limited after US and Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities.
UN, October 1 - RIA Novosti. The IAEA is ready to take into account Iran’s requirements when building interaction with Tehran on nuclear issues, Rafael Grossi, Director General of the Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
“We can build it respectfully, taking into account their requirements. But the work on non-proliferation must continue,” Grossi said, answering a question about the prospects for the IAEA dialogue with Tehran in the nuclear field.
One of the key issues remains the full resumption of IAEA inspection activities in Iran. The inspectors' work was limited after US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and Tehran's subsequent decision to suspend cooperation with the agency.
According to Grossi, the nature of further interaction largely depends on the development of other political issues, so the agency needs to be persistent and patient. At the same time, he expressed the opinion that cooperation with the IAEA meets the interests of Iran itself.
