IAEA Director General Grossi told a Tokyo press conference on the 26th that the
agency has held preliminary technical consultations with Iran on inspections of
its nuclear facilities. Kyodo reported the talks took place last weekend in
Switzerland. Grossi said he expects formal consultations to begin soon and that,
under a US‑Iran memorandum of understanding, IAEA inspectors have the right to
access relevant Iranian sites, which he hopes to enter in the near term.
