BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 30. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would have a crucial role to play if an agreement is reached between Iran and the US over the country’s nuclear program, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said, Trend reports.
Speaking to journalists following a Cabinet meeting in Tehran today, Araghchi emphasized that, under the terms of any potential deal, the IAEA would oversee trust-building measures related to Iran’s nuclear activities.
