Grossi Supports Peaceful Solution to Iran’s Nuclear Issue
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi stated in an interview with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung on Sunday that inspectors do not believe Iran has hidden large quantities of highly enriched uranium at various locations. This comes despite his previous reluctance to condemn US and Israeli attacks on tehran over recent months, a duty expected from his role.
Grossi claimed that available information indicates these materials are mainly held at known nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Fordow, and, to some extent, Natanz.
He added that small amounts may have been moved elsewhere.
Grossi further asserted that Israel and the United States severely damaged Iran’s nuclear sites in June during their aggressive strikes.
he said IAEA inspectors will only access these sites “when Iran recognizes its national interests” in allowing such inspections.
The IAEA chief acknowledged Tehran’s denial of any attempt to produce nuclear weapons.
However, catering to his American and Israeli backers’ concerns, he insisted worries about Iran acquiring nuclear arms remain “far from resolved.”
The Argentine diplomat once again endorsed a peaceful solution to this conflict.
Avoiding mention of US and Israeli aggression amid indirect talks between Tehran and Washington, Grossi claimed: “Sitting around a table saves us from another round of bombings and attacks!”
