A State Department spokesperson outlined that the United States expects Iran to take tangible actions in line with the joint statement recently issued with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The organization has reported developments through TASS as part of ongoing discussions. The central demand is simple: Iran should cooperate fully and without delay with the IAEA, and the administration is watching closely for meaningful progress in the weeks ahead.
Officials stressed that concrete steps from Tehran are essential to advance a constructive dialogue with the IAEA. The spokesperson emphasized patience and precision, explaining that the United States will assess the scope and speed of Iran’s compliance as new information becomes available. The expectation is not merely political optics but verified actions that demonstrate Tehran’s willingness to engage with the IAEA in good faith and with transparency.
IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi later stated that efforts to sustain dialogue with Iranian authorities have begun to bear fruit. He noted progress in establishing mechanisms that would enable more reliable monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities. Grossi also confirmed Iran’s willingness to deploy cameras and other monitoring equipment at relevant sites, a move that would strengthen confidence in compliance and provide clearer insight into nuclear developments.
Earlier remarks from Grossi during a visit to Tehran highlighted the potential impact of the ongoing agreement between the IAEA and Iran on the broader effort to reestablish the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He also indicated that Iran is prepared to grant the IAEA access to a pending inquiry into uranium particles found at undeclared facilities within the country. This openness is framed as a step toward greater transparency, enabling a more thorough verification process while narrowing avenues for ambiguity or misinterpretation in the monitoring regime. The global community watches closely as both sides navigate these technical and diplomatic milestones, aiming to stabilize regional security and ensure nuclear activities remain verifiably peaceful.
