Grossi (IAEA) calls for dialogue with Iran after escalating tensions
Tehran has accused the International Atomic Energy Agency of "deliberate partiality" for ignoring the causes of the conflict: US and Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Secretary GeneralRafael Grossi on Monday called on Iran to resume talks with the United Nations nuclear agency, amid escalating regional tensions over Iran's bombing of Tel Aviv following the attack on Lebanon.
Grossi said at a press conference that we are in the midst of a "difficult" phase . "Rhetoric has deteriorated again, but we have seen this before, and we have also seen moments when things tend to calm down a little," he argued, referring to a question about Iran's recent attacks on Israel.
The IAEA SecretaryGeneralhas explained that he has had "occasional" contacts with Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, but has said that the communication channel between the two sides is "broken." "When there are active bombings, inspections are not possible, but many things can be done, and the important thing is dialogue, which has almost been broken, "he said.
Grossi, on the other hand, has stated that he hopes that the parties will not sign an agreement on Iran's nuclear program "without a technical assessment" from the UN agency. "I hope they will not. Two countries can agree what they want, but I think they too would accept that an agreement without proper verification is an illusion of agreement.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, for his part, has reproached Grossi at a press conference for his "deliberate partiality" against Tehran by not putting the spotlight on the source of the conflict: US and Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to Mehr.
"The IAEA Secretary General continues to insist on an inadequate and unconstructive approach, ignoring the reason for the current situation and focusing only on symptoms. If IAEA officials are concerned, they should blame those who are causing it," he lamented.
