Iran hopes IAEA chief's visit is 'constructive'

Iran said Monday it hoped a visit by the chief of the UN's atomic watchdog would be "constructive", just days ahead of the resumption of talks seeking to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, AFP reports.

Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), was to arrive in Tehran on Monday. He was expected to meet Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Atomic Energy Organization chief Mohammad Eslami, who is also one of Iran's vice presidents.
