IAEA chief due in Iran Saturday

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano will visit Iran this Saturday to hold meetings with Iranian officials.

Amano is scheduled to start his trip on October 28 and will hold talks with Vice President and Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi on October 29.

US President Donald Trump on October 13 took a new strategy towards Iran and decertified Tehran's commitment to the 2015 landmark nuclear deal also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Trump's approach has been criticized by many countries, international bodies, political communities and world media.

This is while IAEA has already verified Iran's commitment to nuclear deal eight times.
