Director General of the IAEA emphasized that the nuclear program of Iran, a country with significant economic, industrial, and technological capacities, cannot be resolved through military action nor any forceful action.

Why it matters:

The statements by the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, come at a time when the climate of distrust of Iran in the West has reached its peak. The Israeli and American attacks have not only had humanitarian and environmental consequences, but have also damaged the credibility of international agreements.

 

The big picture: 

IAEA's statement comes after the Israeli regime and its supporter, the U.S., imposed a 12-day war on Iran on the pretext that Iran is achieving a nuclear bomb. The attacks claimed nearly 1,000 Iranian lives. 

 

What he is saying:

Rafael Grossi emphasized the IAEA's cooperation with European countries, the United States, and China to find a lasting diplomatic solution to this issue.

Grossi: "We emphasized in a report before the 12-day war that we had no credible evidence that the Iranians possessed nuclear weapons."

 

Go deeper:

The Director General of the Intrernational Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi's statements today were made while during the 12-day imposed war of Israel against Iran, Grossi played a key role in complicating the crisis by adopting ambiguous and late positions. Grossi's behavior was not only criticized by the Iranian political community, but also a sign of the agency's politicization and distancing itself from its technical and impartial policy.
