What is the story about?
The UN nuclear watchdog will carry out inspections in Iran soon following an interim peace accord between the United States and Iran, but modalities have yet to be finalised, the agency’s chief Rafael Grossi said on Wednesday (June 24).
The two sides signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding last week setting out broad agreements in principle to end the conflict.
The interim accord paved the way for 60 days of talks aimed at resolving more contentious issues, including matters related to Iran's nuclear programme.
"The inspections will indeed take place," International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi told a press conference in Japan, an audio recording of which was posted online by the agency.
"We will be working on the modalities — dates, procedures and locations — very soon," he said, referring to discussions with Tehran.
