Iran's trust in the UN nuclear inspectorate has deteriorated, as President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed frustration with IAEA head Rafael Grossi over perceived inaction regarding Israeli and US military actions. During a call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Pezeshkian noted that Iranian frustrations fueled by perceived Western double standards hinder cooperation with the IAEA. In response, the UK, France, and Germany condemned threats against Grossi, reaffirming their commitment to the agency's protective mandates and urging Iran to comply with its international obligations concerning nuclear oversight.
"Pezeshkian criticised Rafael Grossi, the IAEA director general, for failing to condemn Israeli and US attacks that violate the UN charter and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty."
"The UK, France, and Germany condemned threats against Grossi, reaffirming support for the IAEA's mandate and urging Iran to resume full cooperation and protect IAEA personnel."
