The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, discussed the latest cooperation status between Iran and the IAEA in a telephone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

In the phone call with Araghchi on Sunday, Grossi welcomed the indirect Iran-US talks, emphasizing Grossi's readiness to provide any assistance in this process.

The Iranian Foreign Minister noted the importance of the Agency's role in Iran's nuclear discussions in accordance with the institution's legal duties and powers.

He updated the DG on US talks, hoping for a swift resolution of safeguards issues with a technical & professional IAEA approach.

He stated that Iran, as a responsible member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, will continue its cooperation with the Agency in accordance with its international legal obligations.

Araghchi hoped that the Agency's technical and professional approach would resolve the remaining safeguards issues as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, technical negotiations between Iran and the United States, involving experts from both nations, have commenced in the Omani capital, Muscat, with the primary objective of establishing a framework for discussing a potential agreement on Tehran's civilian nuclear program.

Michael Anton, the State Department's head of policy planning, is leading Washington's expert-level delegation, while Iranian deputy foreign ministers Kazem Gharibabadi and Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi will lead Tehran's.

According to reports, the technical negotiations will precede the high-level talks, establishing a foundation for the subsequent discussions.

The previous round of indirect talks between Iran and the US was held at the Embassy of Oman in Rome on April 19.

Iran has emphasized that the success of the negotiations relies on the demonstration of goodwill, seriousness, and realism from the other party.

According to the spokesman of Iran's Foreign Ministry, the Iranian delegation will adjust every step of the talks based on past experiences and the behavior of the US.
