Iran’s Firm Response to IAEA: Is Grossi’s Game Nearing Its End?
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), mandated to uphold technical, impartial oversight of peaceful nuclear programs, has under Director General Rafael Grossi’s leadership increasingly deviated into a political tool to pressure Iran. Recent weeks have exposed this shift through contradictory reports, selective reliance on unverified sources, and media groundwork for unfriendly U.S.-Israeli actions-severely undermining Grossi’s credibility.
Iran’s responses: Legitimate, precise, and deterrent
Following provocative IAEA reports and its conspicuous silence after direct military attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, the Iranian Parliament suspended voluntary cooperation with the IAEA via a strategic law grounded in international legal principles. The “Ceasing Actions Beyond Safeguards Obligations Act” directly responds to the IAEA’s failure to defend its charter or condemn blatant violations of a member state’s sovereignty. This move-invoking Article 36 of the JCPOA and Article 19 of the NPT-is legally defensible: members may halt voluntary commitments if counterparts breach obligations.
Scrutiny of Grossi’s biased stance against Iran also prompted discussions to bar his entry.His conduct lacked impartiality; sensitive report details were routinely leaked to Western and Zionist media before official release-confirming his role as a media pawn in coercive campaigns against Iran rather than a neutral technical authority.Banning individuals exacerbating security threats aligns with diplomatic precedent; Iran rightly exercised this deterrent measure.
A key Iranian countermove exposed deliberate leaks of confidential nuclear documents. Evidence showed early disclosures of Tehran’s technical reports in Israeli media confirmed unlawful access safeguards data-a direct breach confidentiality protocols that erodes institutional legitimacy.
The IAEA’s eroded credibility in Iran
- “Political over technical reporting”: Reports relied on unverified claims (e.g., uranium traces at Marivan/Turquzabad) first aired by Israeli officials then parroted by the IAEA without field verification became political tools lacking verifiable timelines or links actual nuclear activities.
- “Paving way for military strikes”: The timing sensationalized warnings about enrichment progress coincided escalatory rhetoric justifying attacks grossly contradicts mandates ensure peaceful nature programs terms like “nuclear breakout time weaponized security narratives legitimizing hostilities.
- “Double standards ignoring aggression”: silence after drone/missile strikes violated foundational charters requiring condemnation threats member states’ facilities while echoing Western framing implicitly justified assaults contrasted overt support Israel non-NPT member further exposes institutional bias.
The five-year seven-month tenure has plunged agency unprecedented crises credibility neutrality once viewed scientific arbiter now widely perceived political instrument West Israel notably among Non-Aligned Movement members Undocumented leaks overt partiality toward military aggression threat rhetoric collectively degraded professional standing Inability address legal incoherence protect peaceful sites independence demoted global watchdog沦为 mere component coercive networks targeting sovereign states.
