Iran has handed over documents related to outstanding issues to the U.N. nuclear watchdog, Iranian nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami said on Wednesday, as Tehran demands a check of the agency’s disquisition into uranium patches plants at three undeclared spots.
Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last month agreed on a three-month plan to try to resolve a long-ended issue over uranium patches plant at old but undeclared spots in the country. Resolving the issue would remove a handicap to the reanimation of a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.
“We’ve handed over the documents on March 20 to the agency. They’re reviewing those documents and presumably, the agency’s representatives will travel to Iran for further addresses, and also the IAEA will present its conclusion,” Eslami told a televised news conference.
The agency has long said Iran hadn’t given satisfactory answers on those issues, but in early March they blazoned a plan for a series of exchanges.
IAEA principal Rafael Grossi said last month he’ll aim to report his conclusion by the June 2022 (IAEA) Board of Governors’ meeting, which begins on June 6.
The common plan will help to secure the nuclear deal, which Washington exited in 2018 and reimposed crippling warrants on Iran.
Eleven months of circular addresses between Iran and the United States in Vienna on risking the 2015 deal have stalled as both sides say political opinions are needed by Tehran and Washington to settle the remaining issues.
