Kayhan daily calls Grossi a Mossad agent, urges Tehran to bar entry

The editor-in-chief of Iran’s unltra-conservative Keihan newspaper, accused IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi of working for Israel’s Mossad and called on authorities to deny him entry to the country.

“Documents have emerged exposing your covert ties with the Mossad,” Hossein Shariatmadari, wrote on Tuesday, saying Grossi’s cooperation with Israeli intelligence had been unveiled.

Shariatmadari demanded that Iran lodge an international criminal complaint against Grossi.

“The least punishment for this identified agent of the Zionist regime is, first, to deny him entry to Iran, and second, to prosecute him internationally for spying for Mossad,” he said.
