thread: IAEA DG Grossi, speaking to @NTI_WMD, says of the understanding reached in Iran Sunday: Came in the end to what I described as a reasonable result in the form of the public statement which establishes a bilateral temporary technical understanding between the IAEA & Iran
whereby we will be able to conduct necessary verification and monitoring activities for a period of up to 3 months...We need to recognize we are confronted with a new reality. It is our conviction, in doing what we did, we can facilitate a smooth return to the previous situation
if that is possible after the consultations that are going to take place.
We facilitated an easier atmosphere and time for the indispensable diplomacy to take place in the coming (weeks and) days in order to bring some stability to the situation that needs it very, very badly

EU off'l cont'd: The meeting should be used for starting the process of getting back on track the JCPOA. This is our ambition. This is what we are working on. That would be the objective. Now we are in a difficult situation as agreement is concerned...
