Iran bars UN atomic energy chief from its nuclear sites
Iran has barred the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from visiting its nuclear facilities. Tehran has accused the agency of distorting facts in a recent report, thereby providing justification for the recent Israeli and US strikes against the Islamic Republic.
The vice speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Hamid Reza Haji Babaei, announced on Saturday that Tehran would no longer allow IAEA personnel, including chief Rafael Grossi personally, to inspect its nuclear sites, as quoted by the local media outlet Mehr. The agency’s surveillance cameras will cease operating at the facilities, he added.
Earlier this week, Iran's constitutional watchdog, the Guardian Council, approved a legislation to suspend cooperation with the IAEA until Iran is given security guarantees for its nuclear facilities. The bill is currently awaiting ratification.
Israel, which has for years has claimed that Tehran is secretly developing a nuclear weapon program, launched massive airstrikes against Iran on June 13, targeting several nuclear sites and a number of senior military commanders and scientists believed to be involved in the nuclear program. Last Sunday, the US joined the Israeli military campaign, striking the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities. Shortly thereafter, a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Iran.
Iran has maintained that its nuclear program is strictly peaceful in nature.
In a post on X last week, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei accused the IAEA of issuing a “biased report” that “obscured this truth” and was “instrumentalized… to craft a resolution” that was later used by Israel to justify “an unlawful attack” on Iran’s nuclear facilities. He also suggested that the agency had handed over “sensitive facility data” to Israel.
The document released earlier this month stated that “Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state in the world that is producing and accumulating uranium enriched to 60%.”
The UN nuclear watchdog’s board then declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation duties for the first time in 20 years, with 19 out of 35 IAEA member states backing the motion, including the US, UK, France, and Germany.
Appearing on CNN last Thursday, Grossi insisted that the watchdog’s report “could hardly be a basis for military action.” He added that the agency did not “have any indication that there is a systematic program in Iran to manufacture, to produce a nuclear weapon.”
On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the “Europeans… were actively preparing Grossi so that he would put the most ambiguously negative formulations into his report.”
Weeks before the Israeli and US airstrikes against Iran, Reuters cited anonymous diplomats as making allegations to the same effect.

Trump calls it the ‘12-day war.’ An illegal war on Iran started by Israel and supported by Washington. After the American attack on Iranian nuclear assets, Tehran retaliated with great sophistication. It would seem that was enough for Trump to call it quits. So, what was this war all about?
