Grossi made the clarification on the sidelines of the Baku Climate Change Summit on Tuesday evening and expressed hope for resolving the alleged safeguards issues with Iranian officials during his visit to Tehran.
"That is this gap, this lack of confidence, which we should not allow to grow into a self-fulfilling prophecy of using nuclear facilities as targets," the IAEA chief who will leave for a two-day trip to Tehran on Wednesday told reporters, adding that "We have a problem that we need to solve."
In response to the question whether the agency is concerned about Iran's nuclear weapons development, he clarified that the IAEA has no evidence to prove such a claim.
Earlier in an interview with CNN, Grossi said the purpose of his trip to Iran which certainly won't be the last one is important to find diplomatic solutions to remaining issues.
Referring to the future the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), he said: This is not a secret issue. Since the new government came into office, it is looking for solutions in this regard.
According to the announced plan, Grossi will meet with Iran’s President, Foreign Minister and the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
