TABNAK, Nov, 20 : Speaking in a phone call with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi on Wednesday, Araqhi discussed the interactions between Iran and the IAEA following Grossi's trip to Tehran, as well as the developments related to the Board of Governors meeting.

Both sides stressed their will to continue interaction in order to resolve differences address other issues and avoid unconstructive and confrontational approaches.

Araqchi condemned efforts by France, Germany and the United Kingdom to pass their 4th resolution since 32020 at the United Nations nuclear watchdog’s board meeting on Wednesday.

“This move by the E3 is in clear confrontation with the positive atmosphere created in engagements between Iran and the IAEA, and will only make the issue more complicated,” Araqchi told his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot in a phone conversation, according to Iran’s Foreign Ministry.
