In his regular report to the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors, Amano said it is essential that Iran fully implement its nuclear-related commitments under the plan of action, and urged world powers to continue dialogue with Iran to prevent it from building nuclear weapons.
The assessment comes at a time of sharply increased US-Iranian confrontation after President Donald Trump decided in 2018 to withdraw from the JCPOA and reimpose sanctions on Iran and 8 countries and territories that import oil from Iran.
