The head of the Iranian nuclear agency, Mohammad Eslami, was prevented from participating in an international meeting in Vienna due to pressure from the United States of America. Iranian state television reported that Eslami and his delegation boarded a regular flight to the Austrian capital on Saturday, but were blocked during the journey due to obstructions imposed by the USA.
After the incident, the Iranian official returned to Tehran. The article indicates that Eslami was expected at the meeting, although the text appears cut off at this point.
This is not the first time Iran has faced similar obstacles. The country has been prevented from participating in international meetings related to its nuclear program, at a time when relations between Tehran and Washington remain tense.
The restrictions imposed by the USA come in the context of talks on the Iranian nuclear agreement, which have faced significant difficulties in progressing, with both sides exchanging accusations about the fulfillment of commitments made.
