UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi will fly to Tehran this weekend for talks that may ease a standoff between Iran and the West just as it risks escalating and scuppering negotiations on reviving the Iran nuclear deal, diplomats said on Saturday.

Three diplomats who follow the International Atomic Energy Agency closely said Grossi's trip before next week's meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors was confirmed.The IAEA was not immediately available for comment.

The IAEA informed member states this week that there had been no progress on two central issues: explaining uranium traces found at several old, undeclared sites and getting urgent access to some monitoring equipment so the agency can continue to keep track of parts of Iran's nuclear program as provided for by the 2015 deal.

Under the 2015 deal between Iran and major powers, Tehran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the deal in 2018, re-introducing painful economic sanctions. Iran responded as of 2019 by breaching many of the deal's core restrictions, like enriching uranium to a higher purity, closer to that suitable for use in nuclear weapons.

The European parties to the 2015 deal - Britain, France and Germany - held a meeting with the United States in Paris on Friday to discuss how to react at the IAEA board and to review options if Iran continues to stall on returning to negotiations. But diplomats said no decisions had been taken as of yet.

Epic ruling invites future efforts to paint Apple as monopolist, experts sayA U.S. judge stopped short of labeling Apple an illegal monopolist on Friday, but a recent antitrust ruling provides a roadmap for similar claims against the iPhone maker in the future, legal experts said. Monopolies in business only happen when someone takes over a whole system/market. In this case Apple created the system that other companies use now for smart phones and own the space 💯. I’d say they’ll be ok 🤷‍♂️. microsoft and Google could have gone a long way to help apple, did they not see the precedent being set and apply that to their own stores?
