UN nuclear watchdog head to go to Iran for high-level talks

The U.N. nuclear watchdog says that its director-general will travel to Tehran for high-level meetings at the invitation of Iran’s government. Thursday's announcement by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency comes days after it reported that uranium particles enriched up to 83.7% were found in Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site. The IAEA tweeted that its director general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, would hold a press conference upon his return from Iran to Vienna on Saturday. The confidential quarterly report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency which was distributed to member states on Tuesday likely will raise tensions further between Iran and the West over its nuclear program.
