TABNAK, Nov, 11: “The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi is expected to act independently and professionally and without political pressures and others’ smear campaigns,” Spokesperson of Iranian Foreign Ministry Esmaeil Baghaei said.

“This trip should be considered in the continuation of the interactions between Iran and the Agency, and it is not a new thing. I think these meetings will increase the understanding of the sides, and will help to improve the cooperation between the two sides,” he said referring to the upcoming visit of Grossi to Iran this Wednesday.
