IAEA chief to visit Iran for nuclear deal
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Mariano Grossi will travel to Tehran on Saturday for a meeting with senior Iranian officials. His visit is crucial to the revival of the Iran nuclear deal in 2015.
Gossi, the director general of the UN’s nuclear watchdog, said he would expand the prospects of the deal. However, Tehran also wants Iran to close uranium deposits found at several old but undeclared sites. But Western countries say that this is a separate issue and the IAEA is not a party to it. Grossi’s visit comes amid ongoing talks in Vienna.
Sri Lanka in deep crisis due to rising oil prices
The already ongoing economic crisis in Sri Lanka has intensified with the rising oil prices in the past. Due to the price of oil in the international market reaching up to $ 110 per barrel, the price of oil in the country has increased significantly. While this country is already suffering from shortage of currency. For this reason the authorities had stopped the import of cars and fertilisers.
It now has to scour dwindling reserves to pay for the more expensive oil needed to keep the economy running. Due to this the power generation in the country is also being badly affected. The transport system in the country has also collapsed.
