Grossi arrived in Tehran overnight, Iranian state media said, ahead of next week's meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA and Iran's envoy to the agency said he would meet the new head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mohammad Eslami. Separate, indirect talks between the United States and Iran on both returning to compliance with the deal have been halted since June. Under the 2015 deal between Iran and major powers, Tehran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. A resolution could jeopardise the resumption of talks on the deal as Tehran bristles at such moves.
