Closing the process of questions about one of the four places the Agency is interested, in the latest report of the Director General is one of the evidences of the improvement of the mentioned interaction process.

Although details of Grossi's visit to Tehran have not yet been released, the trip is expected to be linked to the IAEA Director-General's initiative to reach a joint roadmap to resolve safeguards issues between Iran and the IAEA.

According to reports received from Vienna, the negotiations between Iran and the IAEA over the past 10 days have been very difficult and challenging, but maintaining professional relations and continuous cooperation between Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization and the IAEA in recent days, along with constructive initiatives and creativity of both sides, help is noteworthy that the dialogue between Iran and the IAEA has continued.

Current safeguards issues between Iran and the IAEA have become one of the main factors in the slow pace of the Vienna talks, and if Grossi's visit to Tehran can help achieve a common roadmap for resolving ongoing safeguards issues between Iran and the IAEA, could hope that one of the major obstacles to reaching an agreement on the lifting of sanctions in Vienna be resolved.
