TEHRAN Iran said on Aug. 18 that a new round of talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will start in the upcoming days. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said in a press briefing that the talks will likely take place over the coming days following a visit by IAEA Deputy Director General Massimo Aparo to Tehran last week. Baqaei said Aparo’s visit was meant to “examine how Iran and the agency interacted” after U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June.
