Dubai, April 17: Talks between Iran and the United States over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear programme are 슬롯사이트œin a very crucial슬롯사이트� stage, the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said Thursday while on a visit to the Islamic Republic. The comments by Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Tehran included an acknowledgment his agency likely would be key in verifying compliance by Iran should a deal be reached. Iran and the US will meet again Saturday in Rome for a new round of talks after last weekend's first meeting in Oman.
Grossi's visit also coincided with Saudi Arabia's defence minister, Prince Khalid bin Salman, visiting Tehran as the highest-ranking official from the kingdom to visit Iran since the two countries reached a Chinese-mediated détente in 2023. The stakes of the negotiations Saturday and the wider geopolitical tensions in the Mideast couldn't be higher, particularly as the Israel-Hamas war rages on in the Gaza Strip. US President Donald Trump repeatedly has threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear programme if a deal isn't reached. Iranian officials increasingly warn that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Trump Opens Window for Deal with Iran but Issues Warning if Things Don't Work out.

Nothing is guaranteed. We need to make sure that we put all of the elements in place ... in order to get to this agreement."
He added: 슬롯사이트œWe know we don't have much time. So this is why I'm here. This is why I'm in contact with the United States as well.슬롯사이트� Asked about Trump's threats to attack Iran, Grossi urged people to 슬롯사이트œconcentrate on our objective.슬롯사이트� 슬롯사이트œOnce we get to our objective, all of these things will evaporate because there will be no reason for concern,슬롯사이트� he said. For his part, Eslami said Iran expected the IAEA to 슬롯사이트œmaintain impartiality and act professionally,슬롯사이트� a report from the state-run IRNA news agency said.

Since the nuclear deal's collapse in 2018 with Trump's unilateral withdrawal of the US from the accord, Iran has abandoned all limits on its programme, and enriches uranium to up to 60% purity 슬롯사이트� near weapons-grade levels of 90%. Surveillance cameras installed by the IAEA have been disrupted, while Iran has barred some of the Vienna-based agency's most experienced inspectors. Iranian officials also have increasingly threatened that they could pursue atomic weapons, something the West and the IAEA have been worried about for years since Tehran abandoned an organised weapons programme in 2003. Despite tensions between Iran and the agency, its access has not been entirely revoked.
