Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, emphasized the political underpinnings of setting a timeline for Iran's uranium enrichment moratorium on Wednesday.
The decision comes amid ongoing attempts by U.S. and Iranian officials to end the longstanding conflict involving Iran. However, recent discussions concluded without reaching a consensus.
The main sticking point remains the duration Tehran would suspend its uranium enrichment activities, a matter of global concern over potential weaponization, according to the U.S. and Western nations.
