Is a new nuclear deal with Iran possible?

The UN nuclear agency says Iran has agreed to cooperate in monitoring its sites.

The United Nations nuclear agency says Iran has agreed to cooperate in monitoring its sites.

It comes after a visit to Tehran by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi.

His trip followed reports that the IAEA had found uranium particles enriched to near-weapons-grade levels at Iran’s Fordow nuclear power plant.

Tehran denies any intention to develop a nuclear weapon.

But it has ramped up its enrichment program since then-President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.

So how will the Western powers respond? Have Sanctions Against Iran Worked?
