Why it matters:
The conversation was done following the third round of indirect talks held between Iran and the U.S., focusing on Iran's nuclear issue.
The big picture:
Since the 2023 joint statement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), cooperation has improved, but unresolved issues remain.
What they're saying:
Rafael Grossi: "IAEA is ready to help so that the ongoing talks go well."
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "Iran, as a responsible member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), continues its cooperation with the agency and hopes that the agency's technical and professional approach will resolve the remaining safeguards issues as quickly as possible."
