Trump is so afraid! Iran's stance changes as soon as power changes in America
Iran's stance has started changing as soon as the power changed in America. United Nations Atomic Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi visited two major nuclear centers of Iran on Friday. Iran has shown readiness to compromise on the nuclear program to ease the sanctions imposed on it after Trump's victory, after which the IAEA chief reached Iran with his team.
Israel, America and many other western countries have raised objections to Iran's nuclear program. Iran fears that Donald Trump will impose even more stringent sanctions on it under the pretext of its nuclear program after his return.
Iran close to making a nuclear bomb
Grossi visited Iran's nuclear sites in Natanz and Fordo. In February last year, the Fordo site, located about 100 kilometers south of Tehran, became the main cause of tension due to its uranium production. Here inspectors found up to 83.7 percent enriched uranium particles in the underground facility. Which is close to making a nuclear bomb.
Iran said that it had started enriching uranium up to 60 percent in Fordow two years ago, while according to reports, Iran's nuclear program is very close to 90 percent enrichment to make an atomic bomb. This is why Iran is on the target of Western countries. Trump had separated America from this nuclear program deal of Iran during his previous tenure.
Meeting with @drpezeshkian was an essential part of my visit to Iran—an opportunity to engage at the highest level with the new government, listen to his views, and explain my approach and efforts to make progress on one of the most challenging issues on the international agenda. pic.twitter.com/1mc6H4L7I3

Nuclear deal might happen
The IAEA Board of Governors is scheduled to meet next week. Many European countries are advocating a proposal to increase scrutiny of Iran's nuclear program and put pressure on it to return to negotiations. The IAEA chief's visit is considered a result of this pressure. The IAEA monitors nuclear programs around the world.
This change in Iran's stance is surprising, because just a year ago, Iran banned about one-third of the members of the IAEA monitoring team. Tehran had described inspectors from abroad as 'extremists', which further increased tensions between Iran and the international community over its nuclear activities. Now Iran is expressing its willingness to cooperate before Trump's return.
Iranian media coverage of the visit
Iranian media has described the visit of the IAEA team as positive. Meanwhile, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Islami, warned that any proposal by the IAEA Board of Governors criticizing Iran's nuclear program would be met with a strong response.
