According to a Foreign Ministry statement, the talks focused on the agreement reached in Cairo between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the first deal to restore cooperation since Israel’s recent attack on Iran.
During the meeting, Abdelatty stressed the importance of maintaining momentum to prevent the reactivation of UN sanctions mechanisms and to prepare for renewed negotiations between Iran and the United States, the statement added.
He said any revival of talks should take into account the interests of all parties, contribute to de-escalation, rebuild trust, and create conditions for regional security and stability.
Iran and the IAEA signed the landmark agreement in Cairo on 9 September, restoring cooperation on nuclear inspections for the first time since Israeli and US strikes on Iranian facilities in June.
The deal, brokered with Egyptian mediation, was announced after talks between Araghchi and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
Under the agreement, inspectors will be allowed to resume access to Iran’s nuclear sites, including facilities damaged in recent attacks.
It covers all "Iranian installations" and requires reporting on the status of nuclear material at those locations.
The pact lays out a set of “practical steps,” a technical framework to rebuild cooperation, with further talks needed to finalize the scope, timing, and implementation.
The Cairo agreement was reached as European powers threatened to trigger the UN “snapback” mechanism to reimpose sanctions if Iran continued to block inspections.
By agreeing to renewed monitoring, Tehran likely avoided immediate punitive measures, although diplomats warned that this depends on how quickly and fully the agreement is implemented.
Iran’s parliament had suspended cooperation with the IAEA after the June strikes, and the new agreement still requires approval by the country’s Supreme National Security Council.
