VIENNA (Reuters) – Britain, France and Germany have scrapped a U.S.-backed plan for the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board to pass a resolution this week criticising Iran for scaling back cooperation with it, diplomats said on Thursday.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog said its chief Rafael Grossi would hold a news conference at 1100 GMT. It did not give a reason, but diplomats said he told the IAEA’s 35-nation Board of Governors that the agency plans to hold technical discussions with Iran in April.
