"What do we know about the agreement? Grossi called the deal "a step in the right direction," at a joint news conference after the signing. He said the deal was technical in nature and highlighted the "indispensable" inspection work that needs to resume in Iran under the treaty of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. No further details were provided about the agreement."
"Araghchi told reporters the deal addresses his country's concerns and security challenges and lays out technical requirements for cooperation with the IAEA. But he warned that in the event of "any hostile act" against Iran, including the reimposition of UN sanctions, Iran would regard the agreement with the IAEA as terminated. Egypt's Foreign Minister Abdelatty warned that the deal "signed today is the beginning of a path that requires commitment from everybody.""
"The IAEA meeting with Iran comes at a sensitive time. In late August, Germany, France and the United Kingdom began a 30-day process of reimposing sanctions on Iran. The three nations have said Iran is non-compliant with a 2015 agreement aimed at preventing it from developing nuclear weapons. While Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, Western countries accuse the government of seeking an atomic weapon."
Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency signed a technical agreement to resume cooperation and relaunch inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities after a Cairo meeting. The agreement was mediated by Egypt's foreign minister and described by the IAEA director as "a step in the right direction," emphasizing indispensable inspection work required under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran's foreign minister said the deal addresses Iran's concerns and security challenges and sets technical requirements for cooperation, while warning that any hostile act or reimposition of UN sanctions would terminate the agreement. European moves to reimpose sanctions and recent attacks on facilities prompted Iran's suspension of IAEA cooperation in July.
