The deputy head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog is scheduled to visit Tehran on Monday, marking the first high-level contact since Iran suspended cooperation with the agency last month following a brief war with Israel. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that talks will focus on establishing a new framework for cooperation, but no inspections or site visits are planned during this visit. The International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed concerns about Iran's uranium enrichment activities and the whereabouts of its stockpile, while Iran has demanded security guarantees before resuming negotiations with the United States. European countries involved in the 2015 nuclear deal have threatened to trigger sanctions if Iran fails to reach an agreement by the end of August, as tensions remain high over Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional security.
