DUBAI, Nov 13 (Reuters) - U.N. atomic watchdog chief Rafael Grossi arrived in
Iran for talks on Wednesday, Iranian state media reported, a day after he
appealed to Iran's leadership to take steps to resolve longstanding issues with
his agency over its nuclear programme.
Iran's state news agency IRNA carried a video showing Grossi meeting the
spokesperson for Tehran's state atomic energy agency, Behrouz Kamalvandi, after
his arrival.

The International Atomic Energy Agency head has for months sought progress with
Iran on issues including a push for more monitoring cooperation at nuclear sites
and an explanation of uranium traces found at undeclared sites.
But little has come from Grossi's efforts and with the return of President-elect
Donald Trump, who is widely expected to restore a maximum-pressure policy on
Iran, Grossi's trip should provide indications of how Iran wants to proceed in
the coming months.

"I am far from being able to tell the international community ... what is
happening. I would be in a very difficult position. So it's like they (Iran)
have to help us, to help them to a certain extent," Grossi told Reuters on
Tuesday.
Iran has stepped up nuclear activity since 2019, after Trump during his first
term abandoned a 2015 deal Iran had reached with world powers, under which it
curbed enrichment, and restored tough U.S. sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Iran's work on enrichment has been seen by the West as a disguised effort to
develop nuclear weapons capability.

Tehran is now enriching uranium to up to 60% fissile purity, close to the
roughly 90% required for a nuclear bomb. But Iran has long denied any
nuclear-bomb ambitions, saying it is enriching uranium for civilian energy uses
only.
Grossi's trip comes a week before the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors meet
in Vienna with the European parties to the 2015 accord - Britain, Germany and
France - to consider whether to raise pressure on Iran given its lack of
cooperation.
