Grossi reported on the IAEA's regular contact with Iran to resume inspections.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) maintains regular contact with Iran in order to resume full inspections. This was announced on November 19 by the head of the agency, Rafael Grossi, in an introductory statement during the regular session of the Board of Governors.

He noted that the IAEA inspectors are back in Iran and have already inspected the facilities that were not affected by the June attacks.

"However, more assistance [from Iran] is needed to resume full inspections. We are in regular contact with Tehran and continue to work on the full resumption of normal verification procedures," Grossi said.

As for the facilities affected by the military attacks, the IAEA has not yet received data on the state of the nuclear materials located there. Although such reports should be submitted without delay, according to the existing agreement.

"To date, the agency has not conducted inspections at any of the nuclear facilities in Iran affected by military attacks. Although I note Iran's cooperation in conducting inspections at a number of facilities, further constructive cooperation is needed. I call on Iran to promote the full and effective implementation of safeguards in Iran in accordance with the Safeguards Agreement under the Treaty on the Non—Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and confirm my readiness to cooperate with Iran in this matter," the IAEA website says.

On November 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had "checked the clock" on Iran's nuclear program during a telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araqchi. The conversation took place on the eve of the opening session of the IAEA Board of Governors. A day earlier, Araqchi noted that there are no undeclared nuclear facilities in Iran. According to him, the IAEA is fully aware of all nuclear facilities in the country.

Prior to that, on October 29, Grossi reported that the IAEA does not and did not have information about Iran's development of nuclear weapons. According to Grossi, Tehran has confirmed its readiness to remain within the framework of the nuclear non-proliferation regime, despite Western sanctions. On November 1, Araqchi also stated that Iran was ready for negotiations on its nuclear program, but the United States had made unacceptable demands, so the country was interested only in indirect negotiations with Washington, and direct dialogue would be impossible.
