IAEA’s Grossi Implicitly Acknowledges No Destruction of Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
webangah News Agency reports that Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has claimed iran could enrich uranium within months. Grossi previously issued resolutions against Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program, paving the way for U.S. and Israeli regime aggression against Iran.
While implicitly acknowledging no meaningful damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities after the U.S. attack, Grossi stated: “You know, I believe they could set up a cascade of centrifuges capable of producing enriched uranium in a matter of months or less.”
When asked whether tehran had relocated all 408.6 kg of its high-enriched uranium before the U.S.strike on Iranian nuclear sites, Grossi claimed: “We do not know the possible location of these materials. Some may have been destroyed in the attack, and some may have been moved. Clarification will be needed at some point.”
The IAEA reportedly urged full cooperation from Tehran in a confidential June report repeating claims about Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to “weapons-grade” levels-published during sensitive negotiations between Tehran and Washington over Iran’s nuclear program. The report alleged that as of May 17,iran had enriched 408.6 kg of uranium to 60% purity-a 133.8 kg increase as Febuary.
“We must be in a position to identify what is there and confirm where it is indeed and what has happened!” Grossi asserted.
Separately, former U.S. President donald Trump told Fox News he believed Iran had not relocated its uranium stockpile: “It’s very arduous work-plus we didn’t give much warning. they didn’t move anything.”
Following Israel’s failed attack on Iran and Tehran’s decisive retaliatory response, Grossi denied his latest report was the main cause for Israel’s aggression-despite having collaborated with Israel, the U.S., Britain, France (the E3), by publishing false claims that later proved baseless when IAEA admitted days after Israel’s strike: “The agency found no indication that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.”
The Iranian Parliament voted overwhelmingly (210-2-2 out of 219 present) on June 25 to approve suspending cooperation with IAEA following demands by lawmakers reviewing proposals related to national security concerns over biased reports.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi reacted sharply via X platform on June 27 calling this parliamentary decision “a direct result”of Rafael Grosis deplorable role adding:”His prejudiced actions directly facilitated politically motivated resolutions againstIranat BoardOfGovernors meetings while enabling illegal attacks byIsraelandUSagainstIranian nuclearsites”.
