Iran appears to be at odds with the U.N. nuclear watchdog over information it should be providing regarding its atomic programme, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Friday.
"We don't seem to be seeing eye-to-eye with Iran over their obligations to the IAEA," Rafael Grossi told a conference in Rome, adding that he was concerned over a recent announcement by Tehran that it was boosting its enrichment capacity.Grossi said he was "still hopeful" Teheran would give an explanation for the unexpected discovery a few years back of traces of uranium traces at three undeclared sites.
The issue of the unexplained uranium particles has become an obstacle in wider talks to revive Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers since Tehran is now seeking a closure of the IAEA's investigation as part of those negotiations, Western powers say. He added that he was concerned by Iran's announcement last month that it had begun enriching uranium to 60% purity at its Fordow nuclear plant.
