Obviously, the last minute negotiations between Rafael Grossi and the Iranian nuclear authorities were positive.

In any case, this is the tone given by the head of the IAEA after his meeting with Mohammad Eslami: “

Our work has been intense since this morning.

We are continuing our negotiations to find common ground.

We are increasing our efforts to conclude our discussions on a positive note.

We are working very hard

”.

Reviews

The IAEA has criticized Iran in recent weeks for its lack of cooperation and called on Tehran to allow its inspectors to be able to monitor Tehran's nuclear and enrichment activities more actively as in the past.

No details have yet been given on the agreements between the two parties, but obviously Tehran has made a move 

Iran remains in its position

But more generally, Iran remains in its position vis-à-vis the United States.

Indeed, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani said on November 22 that the United States must accept the new reality of Tehran's nuclear program which will be continued until

the Americans cancel all sanctions after 2018.
