Iran invites IAEA chief for talks before showdown with West
UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi will fly to Tehran this weekend for talks that may ease a standoff between Iran and the West just as it risks escalating and scuppering negotiations on reviving the Iran nuclear deal, diplomats said yesterday. Three diplomats who follow the International Atomic Energy Agency closely said Grossi's trip before next week's meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors was confirmed. Two said Grossi was due to arrive in Tehran early today and meet the new head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mohammad Eslami.
