MILAN – Reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear accord will have to await the formation of a new Iranian government, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said in remarks published on Wednesday.
“Everyone knows that, at this point, it will be necessary to wait for the new Iranian government,” Rafael Grossi told Italian daily La Repubblica.
Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, appeared to be referring to Iran’s presidential elections, due on Friday.
Iran’s new president is expected to name his cabinet by mid-August, a government spokesman said.
