Grossi: Tehran agrees with IAEA transition to verification measures at nuclear facilities in Iran

“I note Iran’s agreement to allow the agency (IAEA. -

) to proceed with further monitoring and verification measures necessary for the IAEA to fulfill its mission,” TASS quotes him.

The agreement is important, Grossi said, as it will allow the agency to begin establishing new baselines that are needed if Tehran resumes its nuclear commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

On March 4, the agency reported that Iran would allow the IAEA to carry out further activities to monitor the country's nuclear facilities.

Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi called for the need for an independent operation of the IAEA.
