Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has written to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi following Israeli airstrikes on multiple locations, including the Natanz nuclear facility.
In the letter, Araghchi called on the IAEA to clearly condemn the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. He said Iran would take special measures to protect its nuclear equipment and materials, and warned of a firm response to the strikes.
He also urged Grossi to immediately convene an emergency meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors to address the situation.
