Rafael Grossichief

Circumstances have changed in that the problem has grown bigger than it was,

said Grossi

We have a problem that we need to solve,

Grossi said in an interview at the U.N. climate conference in Azerbaijan

There has been a bit of a dire straits dynamic with Iran that we want to go beyond."

He added

Rafael Grossichief

I think the situation continues to degrade itself. Their nuclear program grows, and we are not having the degree of visibility that we need in areas that are sensitive, like centrifuge production and others,

Grossi said

Rafael Grossichief

I am far from being able to tell the international community ... what is happening. I would be in a very difficult position. So it's like they (Iran) have to help us, to help them to a certain extent,

Grossi told Reuters on the sidelines of the COP29 climate summit in Baku

To a certain degree, Iran must make an investment at this point in the agency by entrusting us with and allowing us to see more than they would strictly legally have to, because the deficit is huge,

he said

I already worked with the first Trump administration and we worked well together,

the IAEA chief insisted

Rafael Grossichief

The Iranian administration must understand that the international situation is becoming increasingly tense and that the margins to manoeuvre are beginning to shrink, and that it is imperative to find ways to reach diplomatic solutions,

Rafael Grossi, told AFP in an interview at the COP29 climate summit in Baku

There is no doubt that the benefits of this deepening of relations will not only include Iran and Saudi Arabia, but certainly, considering the characteristics and impacts of the two big countries on the region and the Islamic world, this will lead to the development of regional cooperation and solidarity among Islamic nations,

Aref said

Asghar Khaji held a meeting and talks with the chief negotiator of Syria and the accompanying delegation in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan,

the Iranian state news IRNA noted

In this bilateral meeting, the two sides discussed the latest developments in the region, the political and field developments in Syria, especially crimes and aggressive attacks of the Zionist regime in the region. For his part, the chief negotiator of Syria in Astana emphasized the continuation of strategic relations between Syria and Iran and the expansion of relations between the two countries,

IRNA reported

Aref was speaking in a Monday meeting with the Saudi crown prince on the sidelines of an extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League in the Saudi capital,

Iran’s IRNA noted

The maximum pressure campaign of Trump has failed, even if people have been burdened by it. What is important will be actions and not words, but we recommend Trump to take into account the failure of his past policies,

Mohajerani added

Whatever secures the country's interest and values of the revolution will be pursued by the government,

Mohajerani told a journalist, according to the Iranian Student News Agency
