Iran's Vice President for Nuclear Affairs Mohammed Eslami was banned from speaking at the International Atomic Energy Agency General Conference in Vienna due to pressure from the Trump administration. At the urging of the United States, the UN's request for an exemption from sanctions for Eslami was rejected, which meant that a senior Iranian representative would not be able to speak at the opening stage of the conference. US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright will use this meeting to warn Iran, insisting that the US position is very clear: “Iran must not develop or acquire nuclear weapons.”
