Vienna: Iran’s Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Reza Najafi, announced the “launch of a new round of talks between the Iranian delegation and IAEA officials.”

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Najafi stated that “these negotiations will determine the new form of cooperation between Iran and the IAEA,” emphasizing that they are a continuation of consultations aimed at defining a framework for cooperation in light of the law enacted by the Iranian Parliament.

The Iranian Representative clarified that “these negotiations, which are being held at the expert level, will determine the new formula for cooperation between Iran and the IAEA.”

A confidential report issued by the IAEA last Wednesday highlighted that Iran had “increased its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium,” which is nearing the level required for nuclear weapons, before the Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities on June 13. The report, seen by Western media, noted that Iran’s stockpile reached 440.9 kilograms of uranium hexafluoride as of June 13.

The IAEA’s definition suggests that 125 kilograms of 20% enriched uranium is theoretically sufficient to produce one nuclear bomb if further enriched.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that Iran would not sign any new cooperation agreements with the IAEA until the ongoing negotiations are completed.
