The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog has said that “very detailed” measures to verify Iran’s nuclear activities must be included in a potential US-Iran agreement to end their war in the Middle East. 

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general Rafael Grossi stressed the need for the thorough verification regime for Iran’s nuclear programme, as US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that a second round of talks with Iran could happen over the next two days.
