Iran ‘will negotiate’
The Citizen

UN seeks to head off new regional conflict ahead of Trump inauguration.
-
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said yesterday that Iran will not negotiate under "intimidation," as he held crunch talks with the UN nuclear chief weeks before US president-elect Donald Trump takes office.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi said achieving "results" in nuclear talks with Iran was vital to avoid a new conflict in the region already inflamed by Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
His visit comes just days after Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Iran was "more exposed than ever to strikes on its nuclear facilities," giving Israel "the opportunity to achieve our most important goal."
Grossi said Iranian nuclear installations "should not be attacked," but Trump is expected to give Israel a far freer rein after he takes office in January.
The IAEA chief described his meeting with Araghchi as "indispensable" in a post on X.
