US waiting for IAEA meetings in Iran before taking next step

The US is waiting for the head of the UN nuclear watchdog to meet with Iranian officials this weekend before deciding on its next steps in response to Tehran’s nuclear escalations, a State Department official said Wednesday.

“We understand IAEA Director General Grossi will be in Tehran for high-level meetings this weekend, and we await the results of those discussions as well as issuance of his report on NPT related issues,” the spokesperson told Al Arabiya English. “We are in close contact with our allies and partners in Europe and the region as we await further details from the IAEA, but we will not detail those diplomatic conversations.”
