The silence and inaction of the Agency and its Director General will remain as a stain of shame in the history of the Agency, noted the Head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI).

Why it matters:

Despite official correspondences calling for the definitive condemnation of the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was unable to defend its own authority in condemning the attack. 

 

What he's saying: 

Mohammad Eslami: "The Agency’s report explicitly emphasized that there are no tools for building nuclear weapons in Iran."

"As a result of pressures from the United States, the Agency was unable to take a firm stance against Israel’s aggression toward nuclear facilities."

"Iran will not submit to pressures and will not compromise on its inherent rights."

 

The big picture:

Mohammad Eslami, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization, left Iran to Vienna to participate in the opening of the 69th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

This annual gathering serves as a platform for member states to discuss critical issues related to nuclear energy and safety, fostering international cooperation and dialogue.
