The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has had only technical discussions with Iran's nuclear chief and no high-level contact with the Raisi government since it was elected in June, according to IAEA chief Raphael Grossi. Grossi visited Iran in September but the IAEA was blocked from accessing an important centrifuge plant. Grossi wants to visit Iran again for a high-level meeting before the IAEA Board of Governors meeting on November 22nd.
