TEHRAN - Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have made significant progress in resolving outstanding issues, with only two cases remaining, according to Mohammad Eslami, Head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization.

Following the recent visit of IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Eslami expressed optimism while talking to reporters on Wednesday, about the positive results achieved. He noted that the IAEA had initially expressed concerns about the alleged existence of undeclared nuclear material at specific locations in Iran.

However, through ongoing negotiations, Iran and the IAEA have narrowed down the outstanding issues to just two. These cases are currently being addressed through a dialogue and interaction process between deputies from both sides.

Eslami emphasized that Iran's nuclear industry has made considerable advancements, which were acknowledged by Grossi during his visit. He expressed confidence that Iran's capabilities can be showcased to the international community.

Grossi's visit last week included participation in the International Conference on Nuclear Science and Technology 2024 in Isfahan. He announced that he had reached an agreement with Iran to implement joint operational steps based on a statement issued by both parties in March 2023.

The March 2023 statement is considered a key document that outlines the necessary actions to resolve the remaining issues and take additional steps.
