The agency and Iran will also “continue to work on remaining outstanding safeguards issues with the aim of resolving them,” it added.

The agreement with Iran is an important development for the IAEA’s verification and monitoring activities in the country, Grossi said. “It will enable us to resume necessary continuity of knowledge at this facility.”

“I sincerely hope that we can continue our constructive discussions to also address and resolve all outstanding safeguards issues in Iran,” he added.

To this end, Iran and the agency will exchange information and assessments, including through meetings of experts.
