New opportunity for ...

Experience has shown that adhering to past approaches and solely focusing on the agency’s demands without considering Iran’s legitimate interests and concerns end up nowhere. Politically motivated resolutions issued by the Board of Governors in previous sessions have elicited reciprocal responses from Iran, including the escalation of nuclear activities.
Grossi hinted at the possibility of a joint statement by the US and the E3 regarding Iran’s nuclear program but made no mention of draft resolutions against Iran’s nuclear program at the Board of Governors meeting. This could be a welcome sign, paving the way for constructive dialogue. These conversations are anticipated during Grossi’s visit to Iran and his meeting with the president.
Moreover, the Iranian president, accompanied by a delegation that includes the foreign minister, is set to attend the UN General Assembly in New York. Crucial discussions and negotiations with Western counterparts on the nuclear issue are likely to unfold on the sidelines of this assembly. Iran’s foreign minister and the EU’s foreign policy chief have already agreed to resume these talks during a recent phone conversation.
A new opportunity to bolster diplomacy and resolve differences appears on the horizon. Any claims, positions, or non-constructive actions before these talks, especially ahead of Grossi’s meeting with Pezeshkian, may undermine the positive momentum and the opportunity at hand.
