Some “very detailed” measures to verify Iran’s nuclear activities must be included in any potential U.S.–Iran agreement to end the war in the Middle East, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said on April 15.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog chief emphasized that thorough verification of the Iranian regime’s atomic activities would be required when the U.S.–Israeli war with the Islamic Republic of Iran comes to a close.
