Araghchi says Iran will respond to any 'improper' European move

Iran will take action against any "improper initiative" by European states, said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a phone call with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi on Saturday.

The call followed the agency’s latest report on Iran and came ahead of the IAEA Board of Governors meeting.

Araghchi said all of Iran’s nuclear activities remain under IAEA monitoring with no deviation, and urged Grossi to “reflect the realities in a way that prevents certain parties from misusing the Agency to advance their political aims.” He warned that responsibility for consequences will lie with those parties.
