Meanwhile, Eslami reacted to recent comments by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s chief Rafael Grossi who said, returning to diplomacy is key to solve Iranian nuclear issue.

The Iranian official said, “The relationship between Iran and the agency has a legal basis, and the basis is the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and comprehensive safeguards. The agency moves in this framework and must have demands within this framework and nothing else.”
