Iran is removing essentially all the extra International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring equipment installed under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and there are only three to four weeks before it becomes impossible to revive the deal, the IAEA's chief said.

"I think this would be a fatal blow (to reviving the deal)," IAEA chief Rafael Grossi told a news conference when asked what would happen if at least some of the equipment being removed as of Thursday were not put back within a window of opportunity that Grossi put at three to four weeks.
