VIENNA (AP) — The U.N. nuclear agency chief says he is “positive” about the chances of clinching a deal with Iran that would allow his organization to resume a probe into whether Tehran worked on atomic arms. But he also notes that “nothing is certain.”
International Atomic Energy Agency head Yukiya Amano spoke about his expectations shortly before boarding a flight to Tehran on Sunday.
His agency hopes talks there with senior officials will result in an agreement that will restart its investigation. For more than four years, Iran has refused to provide the IAEA access to relevant sites, officials, and documents.
Amano told reporters that his meetings should “help reach agreement” on a deal. Iran denies conducting work on nuclear weapons.
