In the midst of the regional climbing with Israel, the Iranian regime pointed against the diplomat for the reports of the nuclear organism.
The conflict in the Middle East continues to deepen its diplomatic derivations. In this context, the Iranian government launched a direct warning against Rafael GrossiGeneral Director of International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA) and Argentine diplomat with extensive experience in multilateral forums.
Through a publication on social networks, Ali Larijani -One of the main advisors of Supreme Leader Ali Khamene- launched a phrase that lit alarms: “Once the war ends, we will take care of Grossi”The statement was read by international observers as a personal threat, within the framework of the growing questions of Tehran to the OIEA reports about the Iranian nuclear program.
The official reaction was swift: the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil baqaeiaccused the UN agency of “betray the non -proliferation regime“And act as”Partner of this unfair war of aggression”, Directly holding Grossi. From Tehran they argue that the dissemination of the OIEA report, which details critical advances of the Iranian nuclear program, facilitated the international justification for the Israeli attack.
The Oiea report and Grossi’s word
The report, published from Vienna, reveals that until May 17, Iran accumulated 408.6 kilograms of enriched uranium up to 60%a jump from 133.8 kilograms since February. This material is very close to the purity level of the 90% necessary for arms purposeswhich generates international concern. However, Grossi emphasized that “Having enough uranium is one thing; have an eyelet where to place it is another completely different”, Clarifying the severity of the stage.
In dialogue with CNN, Grossi ruled out that OIEA technical reports can be interpreted as justification for military actions. “A report on nuclear verification in Iran can hardly be the basis of military action”, He said, and remarked that the”military action, come from whoever comes, is a political decision that has nothing to do with what we say”In an additional interview with France24, he stressed that, although Iran is the only country without nuclear weapons that enriches uranium at levels close to the militarythe agency has not detected a specific effort to manufacture a bomb: “We cannot affirm that there is a direct effort to manufacture an atomic bomb”
The controversy has its roots in 2018, when The United States abandoned the JcPoa Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA)the international agreement that regulated Iranian nuclear development. After that decision, they would suspend several cooperation mechanisms provided for in the Covenant, making it difficult to supervise the OIEA and generating international distrust.
Grossi recalled that, although in the early 2000s there were indications of activities linked to the development of nuclear weapons, there are currently no signals of an active program for that purpose. “Talking about deadlines, in this context, would be mere speculation”, He said, avoiding alarmist narrative feed on imminent proliferation.
