Iran’s Diplomatic Window Is Closing, UN Atomic Watchdog Says

The US military build-up in the Middle East means Iran’s window to reach a diplomatic agreement over its atomic activities is at risk of closing, according to the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has discussed concrete proposals with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to inspect sites bombed last year by Israel and the US, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told Bloomberg Television on Thursday. Whether those plans can be finalized urgently is an open question.
