Chris Wright, the U.S. Secretary of Energy, spoke about this in Vienna, where the headquarters of the Atomic Energy Agency is located. He stated that Eslami cannot attend this conference due to U.S. sanctions.

Chris Wright told reporters: "He is a sanctioned individual, and we do not want sanctioned individuals to evade their sanctions. His request for a sanctions exemption has been denied." These remarks came as Eslami, as the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, has regularly participated in public IAEA conferences and spoken since taking office in 2021.

Eslami's Trip to Vienna and Upcoming Obstacles

According to published reports, Mohammad Eslami and his accompanying delegation traveled to Vienna on a regular flight on Saturday but faced difficulties due to obstacles created by the United States. Iranian state television reported that these obstacles have prevented Eslami and his delegation from continuing their journey to this important conference.

Analysts believe that this issue could create further tensions between Iran and the United States, especially as nuclear negotiations between the two countries and other parties are ongoing. Additionally, this U.S. action could be interpreted as a sign of the country's determination to continue its hardline policies toward Iran.

While the United States seeks to exert pressure on Tehran, Iran is also looking to maintain its right to develop peaceful nuclear technologies. Therefore, these tensions may affect the future course of nuclear negotiations.
