Iran condemns IAEA chief for 'biased' role in nuclear dispute

Iran’s Foreign Ministry criticized International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi on Thursday, accusing him of a biased and politically motivated approach to Iran’s nuclear program.

“Grossi bears direct responsibility for weakening the professional credibility of the Agency,” Spokesman Esmail Baghaei said.

He also condemned the resolution passed by the IAEA Board of Governors at the urging of the US, France, Germany, and the UK.

The Islamic Republic would adopt necessary countermeasures to protect national interests, he said.
