Tehran has firmly rejected Rafael Grossi's request to inspect nuclear facilities damaged by Israeli and US strikes during a recent conflict. Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and President Masoud Pezeshkian, have criticized the IAEA, suggesting that Grossi's actions are not only unhelpful but politically motivated. Iran views the IAEA as compromised by pressures from Israel and the US. Lawmakers have backed a bill to suspend cooperation with the agency, responding to the perceived failure to address the attacks against their nuclear installations.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed the IAEA's request for a visit to bombed nuclear sites, calling it meaningless and possibly malign in intent.
President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran halted cooperation with the IAEA due to Grossi's destructive conduct, viewing the agency under political pressure from the West.
