Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) spokesman Behrouz Kamalvand said the IAEA chief is scheduled to attend the International Nuclear Science and Technology Conference being held in the central Iranian province of Isfahan from May 6 to 8 and hold talks with Iranian officials. Xinhua news agency reported that AEO President Mohammad Eslami gave this information.

According to the Iranian Student News Agency, the AEOI chief reaffirmed Iran's commitment to nuclear activities aligned with its cooperation with the IAEA earlier this month, while addressing the agency's concerns over "ambiguities" in the country's nuclear program.

Eslami also stressed Iran's adherence to the safeguards agreement and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the report said.

Iran signed a nuclear deal with world powers in July 2015, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), accepting restrictions on its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. However, the US withdrew from the deal in May 2018, reinstating sanctions and prompting Iran to withdraw some of its nuclear commitments.

Efforts to revive the JCPOA began in Vienna, Austria in April 2021, but despite several rounds of talks, no significant progress has been made since the last talks in August 2022.
