International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi on Tuesday called on Iran to adopt “concrete” measures to help bolster cooperation on the country’s nuclear program. 

At a news conference in the Iranian city of Isfahan, Grossi said he had proposed in talks with Iranian officials that they “focus on the very concrete, very practical and tangible measures that can be implemented in order to accelerate” cooperation.

Grossi held discussions with senior Iranian officials including Mohammad Eslami, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.

Iran has suspended its compliance on nuclear activities set by a 2015 deal with major powers after the United States in 2018 withdrew from the agreement and reimposed sanctions.
