Guterres warns of the danger of losing the nuclear agreement, as a delegation of the international atomic force leaves Tehran

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of negative repercussions for losing the nuclear agreement between Tehran and the international community, while a delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency left Tehran without it being clear whether the two parties had reached a solution regarding the most important outstanding issues.

Guterres said that there is a great danger - at the present time - of losing the nuclear agreement with Iran, warning of negative repercussions of losing the nuclear agreement on the security and stability of the region, he said.

In a related context, the Iranian Students News Agency (semi-official) reported that officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency left Tehran on Monday after holding talks with the head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, but it did not mention whether the two parties had resolved the impasse related to traces of uranium in Iranian sites other than Iran. declared.

This issue remains a major obstacle to progress in broader talks to revive the 2015 Iranian nuclear agreement with major powers to limit Tehran's controversial uranium enrichment program, in return for lifting the sanctions imposed by Washington after its withdrawal from the agreement in 2018.

Talks aimed at returning to the nuclear deal have stalled since last September, as Western powers accuse Iran of making exaggerated demands after it appeared on the horizon that all parties were close to reaching an agreement.

And the Iranian (semi-official) Tasnim Agency recently quoted Kamal Kharazi - senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - as saying that the issue of nuclear safeguards is the remaining outstanding issue for reviving the agreement.

Students News Agency said that the delegation of the International Atomic Energy Agency held talks with Iranian teams and met with Mohammad Eslami, head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization.

The agency added that the two sides exchanged views on "cooperation and future joint programs, in addition to issues related to guarantees."

It is noteworthy that the International Atomic Energy Agency said last year that Iran had failed to explain the reason for the existence of traces of uranium that were found in several undeclared sites, which "raises doubts" about the peacefulness of Tehran's nuclear program.
