The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, is expected to speak with the press on Saturday, after ongoing talks with Iran on two sets of important matters, including the science sector.

Grossi began meetings in Tehran on Friday — meetings that diplomats said were meant to push Iran to co-operate with an IAEA investigation into uranium traces found at undeclared sites that had been enriched close to nuclear-weapons grade.

"Globally speaking, there are two sets of matters that are important. Clearly, there is great expectation about our joint work in order to move forward in the issues that Iran and the agency are working on, to clarify and to bring credible assurances about the nuclear program in Iran," Grossi told reporters in Tehran. Grossi said the talks were taking place in an "atmosphere of work, honesty and co-operation."

His visit comes amid contacts with Tehran on the origin of the uranium particles enriched to up to 83.7 per cent purity, very close to the 90 per cent threshold for weaponization, at its underground Fordow enrichment plant, according to a report by the United Nations nuclear watchdog.
