IAEA Director Rafael Grossi announces readiness to verify Iran's nuclear activities
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced at the United Nations General Assembly in New York that the agency has completed most of the technical preparations required to verify Iran's nuclear activities. Grossi stated that the agency is ready to provide the technical verification necessary to support potential negotiations between Iran and the United States.
Grossi emphasized that a sustainable and stable solution to the tensions surrounding Tehran's nuclear program requires a diplomatic agreement. He noted that independent verification by the IAEA would be essential for any such deal. The Director General expressed hope that negotiations could progress with the support of regional and international partners, specifically mentioning Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, and Egypt.
In response to these statements, Iran's permanent mission criticized the IAEA for applying double standards and political motivations. The mission highlighted the lack of comprehensive safeguards regarding Israel's nuclear activities and criticized the agency's silence concerning strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
