Iran Urges IAEA Chief to Stop Political Statements and Focus on Duties

Ismail Baqaei, spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) approach to Iran's damaged nuclear facilities, describing it as blocked and a failure. He specifically targeted Rafael Grossi, the IAEA Director General, urging him to cease making political statements and to concentrate on fulfilling his professional and responsible obligations. Baqaei's remarks reflect ongoing tensions between Iran and the IAEA regarding nuclear inspections and oversight.
