Iran needs to reach an understanding over its atomic activity with the administration of Donald Trump in order to avoid being dragged into another military conflict in the Middle East, according to the world’s top nuclear regulator.

The United Nations nuclear watchdog warned that Iran has hit the "gas pedal" in its nuclear program as it continues to ramp up production of near-weapons grade uranium as President Donald Trump enters the White House.

In an interview, International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said his organization was continuing discussions with Iranian officials and hopes to engage with the Trump administration about working out a transparency agreement with Iran.

The supreme leader announced he is prohibiting the development of nuclear weapons, which may be part of an effort to initiate sanctions talks.

"Iran signed, in 1968, the NPT (the Non-Proliferation Treaty) as a founding member. Iran's Supreme Leader (Ali Khamenei) has issued a religious edict outlawing all WMDs (weapons of mass destruction)," Araghchi wrote on social media platform X.

London, IRNA – Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has said Iran and the Donald Trump administration need to reach “an understanding” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program.

London, IRNA – Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has suggested that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) could serve as a framework for negotiating a new agreement with Iran.

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog called on the Trump administration and Iran on Wednesday to hold talks, as Tehran has accelerated its production of enriched uranium.

Tehran delivered a conciliatory message to Western leaders in Davos days after its arch adversary Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the longstanding commitment of the Islamic Republic to global nonproliferation regime is clear. It is audacious to preach that Iranians must once and for all make it clear that they will renounce to have nuclear weapons, Araghchi wrote on his X account in English language.
