Iran Raps Grossi’s Betrayal of NPT
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson lashed out at the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency for betraying the nuclear non-proliferation regime and presenting a biased report that encouraged the Israeli regime to wage of war of aggression against Iran.
In a post on his X account on Thursday, Esmaeil Baqaei cited comments by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi who has acknowledged that the IAEA “did not have any evidence of a systematic effort (by Iran) to move into a nuclear weapon.”
“This is too late, Mr. Grossi: you obscured this truth in your absolutely biased report that was instrumentalized by E3/US to craft a resolution with baseless allegation of ‘non-compliance’; the same resolution was then utilized, as a final pretext, by a genocidal warmongering regime to wage a war of aggression on Iran and to launch an unlawful attack on our peaceful nuclear facilities,” Baqaei said.
“Do you know how many innocent Iranians have been killed/maimed as a result of this criminal war? Is it how an international civil servant tested for assigning the UN leadership? Misleading narratives have dire consequences, Mr. Grossi, and demand accountability,” the spokesman stated.
“You betrayed the non-proliferation regime; You’ve made IAEA a partner to this unjust war of aggression; You turned IAEA into a tool of convenience for non-NPT members to deprive NPT members of their basic right under Article 4. Any clear conscience?” he asked Grossi.
