The United Nations atomic agency’s chief will meet Iran’s president on Thursday, in an effort to “accelerate” probes into the country’s nuclear past that may hinder an accord with world powers.
Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, will hold talks with Hassan Rouhani in Tehran, the Vienna-based IAEA said in a statement. He’ll also meet the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, a key official with oversight of the military, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.
