IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told the IAEA General Conference that “implementing the activities set out in the most recent Joint Statement between myself and Iran – in March this year – has not made the progress I was hoping for… Only full co-operation by Iran, and tangible results, will take us to the credible assurances that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful”. The same day, Grossi met with the head of Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran and stressed the IAEA’s “willingness to engage and make concrete progress in the spirit of the March 4 statement to provide credible assurances that nuclear program is exclusively peaceful”.
