Iran's Atomic Energy Organization accuses US and Israel

Mohammad Eslami, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, has accused the United States and Israel of pressuring the United Nations' nuclear watchdog. Eslami claims these nations are pushing the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect Iranian nuclear facilities that have been damaged during wartime.

“

IAEA has no clear rules on how to inspect damaged nuclear facilities, but the US and Israel are pressuring the agency to go to these sites and conduct inspections.

According to state media reports, Eslami stated that the underlying motive for this pressure is for the US and Israel to assess the aftermath of their own military operations. He suggested that these countries want to observe the consequences of the strikes they have carried out on these sites.

Eslami further characterized Iran as being in a "state of war." He also raised concerns about the safety of the damaged nuclear facilities, indicating they are not yet secure enough for inspectors to conduct thorough checks. He added that any attacks on these facilities are subject to Iranian laws, and the IAEA lacks clear regulations for inspecting such sites.

“

The reason for this pressure is that they want to see what happened to these facilities after their military operations.

The IAEA has been approached for comment on these accusations.

Iran is still in a 'state of war,' and damaged nuclear facilities are not yet safe enough for inspectors.
