IAEA chief Grossi discusses Iran, Syria non-proliferation with US Energy Secretary Wright
Grossi arrived in the US ahead of the launch of the IAEA's initiative ATLAS, designed to aid the deployment of civil nuclear applications at sea
Assessment
The IAEA chief is in Washington for talks that pair nuclear non-proliferation with a new maritime nuclear initiative. Iran and Syria are on the agenda, signaling ongoing US concerns about both countries' nuclear activities. The ATLAS program aims to expand civilian nuclear use at sea, which introduces new regulatory and security questions. Watch for whether these discussions produce any shift in IAEA inspection posture toward Iran.
