the head of the iaea, rafael grossi, flew there this weekend after tehran said it would significantly united states lifts sanctions. iran has been gradually breaching the terms of the nuclear deal since former us president donald trump pulled out of the accord in 2018 and imposed crippling sanctions. in the latest move, tehran is planning to suspend the iaea's additional protocol, which allows the agency to carry out snap inspections. speaking on his return to vienna, mr grossi said the deal he had struck with iran was viable and salvaged the situation, for now. there is less access, let's face it. let's face it, there is less access. but still, we were able to retain the necessary degree of monitoring and verification work for what it is as it's been defined, as you will see, as you read it again, as a temporary technical understanding. he gave few details about the changes, but said this was a solution that would be in place for up to three months. the deal gives more time for diplomatic efforts to try to resolve the stand—off between iran and the us. under president biden, the us s

finding a compromise will be difficult but this agreement with the iaea creates a window of opportunityn author and the vice president of the washington—based quincy institute. he says the deal with the un nuclear watchdog is an important step. this is important because if this hadn't been done by tuesday, the iranians would have further reduced some of their obligations and that would have created more of a problem in making sure that the united states came back into compliance with the agreement. it is important to keep in mind that the united states is outside of the deal and the mandate to lift sanctions is in order for the us to be in compliance with the deal. the us cannot have those sanctions on iran if it is part of the deal because the deal lifted those sanctions. so what the iea has done is give more time for diplomacy to be resolved and this is absolutely resolvable, itjust has to happen behind the scenes rather than through public statements that unfortunately tends to just push the two sides further away from each other. so both sides owe a lot to the iea right now to make

steve: one of the devils in this story -- dimples in the story is that this week be essentially happy iaeairector work out a deal where inspectors can remain in the country, but with some limits that are not completely known. we know that iran's legislative branch of government has required that the spot checking, the video surveillance of certain nuclear sites in iran be suspended. the foreign minister has come out and say, we have politics too. we may not agree with it, but we have a political situation. it reminds me in some ways of america. i would love to get your take on this issue. i had not really thought of it this for -- before. when you hear about the fragmentation inside iran, what is your take on that? >> i guess i am a dissenter of conventional wisdom that there is such a thing or meaningful sense of politics in iran. there are members of the government that give aggressive speeches. we also know that if you look at the longer history of iranian politics going back to the late 1990's, there has been an effort by the unelected and illegitimate branch of the iranian government

the head of the united nations nuclear watchdog, the iaea, is due to travel to iran today, as effortsthe us pulled out of the iran nuclear deal — under the trump administration — tehran has gradually restarted enriching uranium. abbas milani is director of iranian studies at stanford university, and explained what chance they would have to persuade iran to rejoin the deal. some in iran, we don't know how strong that number is, really don't want a reset button, because they have suffered so much of the last four years, they don't want the biden administration to give this regime essentially a new lease on life. but i think the majority of the people do want it, and the majority of the people see this as an opportunity to re—enter into negotiations. his spokespeople are still adamant that they do not want to direct negotiations with the united states. just this morning, in the mouthpiece newspaper, it is stated clearly that direct negotiations with the united states are forbidden with mr khamenei. if that line continues, i think we will not get much ahead. there's been mixed reaction on

it is unclear how iran will restrict access and whether or not the iaea will have the ability to monitored remotely. on monday iran's supreme leader said his country could start enriching uranium at 60%. currently the iranian's are enriching a 20% well be on the 3.7% laid out in the nuclear deal. the comments are worrying to the biden administration which signaled a willingness to work at strengthening and extending the agreement. >> we of course are concerned by the steps iran has taken to move away from its compliance with the jcp okay. in this case this is what sounds like a threat. we are not going to respond in specific terms to hypotheticals, to posturing, what we are going to do is reaffirm the proposition that is on the table. >> the us state department is reiterating the need for iran to return to compliance with the nuclear deal before economic sanctions will be lifted. the stalemate has continued since president biden took office and since regional tensions have increased. yesterday 3 rockets were fired at the us embassy in baghdad by suspected iranian backed iraqi militias wo

it's a very opt listic you thought if you think in the next week or so that iran says it will start iaea inspections. is ranl playing with fire here? >> time is not on iran's side. the iranian economy is bleeding. what iran has been trying to do is to raise the stakes, to increase the pressure, to speed up enrichments of uranium, to say to the atomic agency you won't be able to come to iran and check on our nuclear activities. and all of these moves are part of iran's strategy to pressure the biden administration to begin the process of lifting the sanctions. the biden administration says no way. you might say why? the secretary of state anthony blinken, the national security adviser jack sullivan, the head of the cia, william burns and other players were the ones who basically negotiated the 2015 nuclear deal with iran. so the iranians are saying, look, guys, you were part of the deal. and why are you taking your time? so what you're seeing now is both sides are positioning themselves. and i think there is a new opening. and the new opening is the european union basically has called for

the iaea had not been given exact numbers. inspectors of iran's nuclear sites is a key piece of that 2015 nuclear deal. powers in the west, the united states in particular wanted to make sure iran stayed far away from getting some kind of nuclear weapon so its actions were key to that. when we try to understand where the ball is on the court, certainly we are not seeing a step forward. iran's compromise not necessarily marking reconciliation but at least we are not going a step back and reopening the possibility for diplomacy. manus: and the biden team signaling a willingness to discuss in a diplomatic way. i suppose the question is how far apart are the two sides as they jump into this? wilfred: -- >> it is interesting because both sides saying they want to return to the agreement but indicating the other as to act first in order to do so, and so when we hear jake sullivan talk on cbs about how the ball is in iran's court, iran will respond the united states is out of compliance with this 2015 agreement at that is crippling o
