Iran’s foreign minister and the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have concluded technical discussions, according to reports from China’s state broadcaster CCTV.
The meeting between the Iranian foreign minister and the IAEA chief took place on Monday, February 16, 2026. Reuters reported that the Iranian foreign minister stated he would meet with the IAEA director on Monday.
This development comes as international attention remains focused on Iran’s nuclear program and ongoing efforts to restore a comprehensive agreement limiting its scope. Another Reuters report indicated the foreign minister met with the IAEA chief ahead of nuclear talks.
The technical discussions likely addressed outstanding questions regarding Iran’s nuclear activities and potential safeguards measures. The outcome of these talks could significantly influence the trajectory of future negotiations and the broader regional security landscape.
