UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi on Thursday expressed his hope to visit Iran soon to meet recently elected President Masoud Pezeshkian and kickstart their dialogue, according to a report seen by AFP on Thursday.
Tensions between Iran and the IAEA have repeatedly flared since a 2015 deal curbing Tehran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanction relief fell apart.
In the report, Grossi said with the visit he hoped for the "establishment of a fluid, constructive dialogue that swiftly leads to concrete results".
