The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, said any new deal between the U.S. and Iran to limit Iran's nuclear program must include strict inspections.
Talks between the two countries are ongoing, as Iran has ramped up uranium enrichment to near weapons-grade levels since the U.S. left the 2015 nuclear deal.

“There’s always a way,” Grossi said.
