IAEA report enabled attacks on Iran's nuclear sites, foreign ministry says

The recent IAEA report provided a pretext for Israeli and US military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and led to a resolution by the Board of Governors, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Monday.

“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has clear technical duties and its director general must avoid political influence,” Esmaeil Baqaei said.

“While Iran continues to address agency performance issues with relevant bodies, these should not overshadow the core issue—the illegality of Israel and the US’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites.”
