"IAEA Director General Affirms Verification Measures in Iran"

The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, has condemned Iran's decision to withdraw the designation of several experienced Agency inspectors assigned to conduct verification activities in Iran. This move severely affects the IAEA's ability to effectively conduct inspections in Iran and undermines the cooperation that should exist between the Agency and Iran. Grossi calls on the Iranian government to reconsider its decision and engage with the IAEA to address outstanding safeguards issues.
