Paris: France, Germany, and Britain have publicly denounced the "threats" directed at Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This condemnation follows Iran's refusal to grant the agency access to nuclear facilities that were reportedly targeted by Israel and the United States.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and the UK issued a joint statement expressing their unwavering support for the IAEA and its director general. The statement highlighted the importance of the agency's role in monitoring nuclear activities and ensuring international security, emphasizing that any threats against its leadership are unacceptable.
The tensions come amid ongoing international concerns over Iran's nuclear program and the geopolitical implications of restricted access to key nuclear sites. The joint statement from the European powers underscores the critical nature of the IAEA's mission and the need for cooperation from all involved parties to maintain global nuclear safety standards.
