The International Atomic Energy Agency has announced its readiness to help implement the newly signed US-Iran agreement. The agency will work with both sides to define practical measures for carrying out the deal. The process is crucial for regional stability and future oversight of Iran’s nuclear activities.
Speaking in Geneva, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said technical discussions would now begin with American and Iranian officials. He noted that the agreement requires detailed planning and close cooperation from all parties. According to Grossi, successful implementation will depend largely on the political commitment of both governments.
Under the agreement, Iran has agreed to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium in exchange for economic relief. The process may involve down-blending uranium under IAEA supervision. Officials said the arrangement is intended to reduce tensions and support broader diplomatic efforts following months of conflict in the region.
The IAEA estimates Iran possessed around 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent before hostilities intensified. However, inspectors have not verified the material since Tehran suspended cooperation with the agency. The watchdog has repeatedly requested access to uranium stockpiles and production facilities to ensure compliance with international obligations.
Grossi rejected claims that the agency’s actions were politically motivated and emphasized its independent role. He said recognition of the IAEA in the agreement reflects international confidence in its expertise. While welcoming the memorandum, he stressed that it serves as a temporary framework and that detailed negotiations on Iran’s long-term nuclear programme are only beginning.
