Summary

  • Rafael Grossi said the IAEA would make checking the full scope of Iran’s nuclear capabilities its top priority as Washington and Tehran move closer to a possible agreement.
  • “Everything” in Iran’s program would be subject to scrutiny, Grossi told reporters in Vienna, signaling a broad verification push rather than a narrow review.
  • The verification focus comes as US-Iran diplomacy is increasingly tied to efforts to end the war in the Middle East, making nuclear monitoring central to any deal’s credibility.
