Grossi: Temporary halt in IAEA talks with Iran after Raisi's death

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told Reuters on Wednesday that the deaths of the Iranian President and Foreign Minister in a helicopter crash caused a pause in talks between the UN agency and Tehran aimed at enhancing cooperation.

He added, in Helsinki, where he participated in a nuclear conference, "They are in mourning and I must respect that."

He said, "But once it's over, we'll resume," describing it as a "temporary halt that I hope will end within days."
