Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmaiel Baqaei, criticized Rafael Grossi’s stance and maintained that the International Atomic Energy Agency was used by Israel and USA to justify aggression
During an emergency meeting of the Security Council of UNthe Iran expressed severe criticism of the head of International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA)Rafael Grossi. The Iranian representative expressed his discontent with Grossi’s stance, claiming that he did not take appropriate measures in the face of threats to the country’s peaceful nuclear facilities. According to the representative, Grossi’s silence compromises both the authority and credibility of the agency. This criticism arises in a context of accusations that the United States would be involved in an illegal war, which further aggravates the situation.
In response to criticism, Rafael Grossi said in an interview with Al Jazeera that there is no evidence that Iran is close to developing a nuclear weapon. He pointed out that the inspections performed comply with the criteria established by the AIEA. However, Israel and the United States argue that many Iranian nuclear facilities remain inaccessible to international bodies, where Iran is supposed to be enriching uranium at high levels, close to the necessary to manufacture a nuclear weapon.

The situation is further complicated with the intervention of US President Donald Trump, who criticized National Intelligence Director Tulsey Gabbard, stating that there is no evidence that Iran is close to developing a nuclear weapon. Trump claimed to have other intelligence sources that prove otherwise. This scenario reflects the complexity of narratives and contradictory information about the Iranian nuclear program, with part of European and Israeli intelligence believing that Iran is a few years old to obtain a nuclear weapon, while Iran and AIA deny these accusations. If the United States decides to intervene militarily, it will be necessary to present solid evidence to justify such action within the United Nations and International Law.
