Iran’s rubber-stamp parliament greenlit legislation banning the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from working with the country.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) vowed within hours of massive U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear facilities that uranium enrichment will continue.

U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres swiftly condemned President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran’s illegal nuclear weapons program as a “dangerous escalation” and a “direct threat to international peace and security.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Thursday blasted the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its director, Rafael Grossi, for condemning Iran’s nuclear program.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, the IAEA has formally declared Iran in breach of its nuclear non-proliferation obligations.

Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said Wednesday that Iran will attack American military bases across the Middle East if the U.S. or its allies take military action against Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

The head of the International Atomic Nuclear Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said on Monday that the agency discovered three “undeclared nuclear sites” in Iran that the regime has never explained and actively “sought to sanitize.”

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) issued a report on Friday that found North Korea has produced enough fissile material — i.e. atomic bomb fuel — to build up to 90 nuclear warheads, a dramatic increase from the 20 to 60 warheads it was believed capable of building last year.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, urged the world to engage North Korea in remarks this week, emphasizing the threat of having a nation with a “completely off the charts” nuclear arsenal.

Gen. Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said on Monday that Iran will respond “decisively and destructively” to any act of U.S. “aggression.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday claimed President Donald Trump’s policy of “maximum pressure” against Iran’s nuclear ambitions was a “failure” during Trump’s first term, and would fare no better during his second.

Iranian officials signaled they might be willing to return to nuclear negotiations under the second Trump administration after meeting with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi in Tehran last week.

Rafael Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told Iran on Thursday that the “margins for maneuver are beginning to shrink” for a “diplomatic solution” to the issue of Iran’s nuclear program.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told reporters on Monday that the rogue government of Iran had effectively stopped the agency from “complementary access” to its nuclear facilities as required by the 2015 nuclear deal “three and a half years ago.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Thursday that Iran has defied calls from the international community by increasing its already prodigious stockpile of near-weapons-grade uranium, and by refusing to give top IAEA inspectors access to its nuclear sites.

Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said on Monday that former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal with Iran “exists only on paper and means nothing.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Wednesday passed a resolution condemning Iran for banning nuclear inspectors and calling on the Iranian government to cooperate more fully with the U.N. nuclear watchdog.

A confidential IAEA report found that Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium reached 30 times the limit of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Multiple bodies of the United Nations honored dead Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Monday, prompting outrage from Israel.

The Foreign Ministry of Iran insisted in a briefing on Monday that the nation’s terrorist regime would not pursue nuclear weapons development and would abide by international law on weapons of mass destructions (WMDs).

Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), made some encouraging comments about Iran’s nuclear program during a visit to Tehran on Monday – but as soon as Grossi left, he complained that Iran’s level of cooperation with U.N. nuclear inspectors is “completely unsatisfactory.”

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned that Iran is continuing to enrich uranium to much higher levels than needed for any commercial application.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi told the United Nations on Tuesday that Russia and Ukraine are “playing with fire” by fighting around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). Grossi warned “something very, very catastrophic could take place.”

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director Rafael Grossi warned on Tuesday that the situation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has grown “completely out of control” since Russian troops seized the facility in March.

Ukraine marked the 36th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on Tuesday with a visit to the site by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect potential damage caused by the brief Russian takeover of the former plant in February and March.

Russian occupying forces have disconnected Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine from the national power grid igniting safety fears at the site, the global nuclear watchdog warned Wednesday.

Iran’s failure to answer questions about the discovery of uranium particles at former undeclared sites in the country puts its claims about the “peaceful nature” of its nuclear program into question, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog has said.

TEHRAN — The head of the UN nuclear watchdog met Iran’s atomic energy chief in Tehran Sunday, hours before a deadline set by the Islamic republic to limit inspections by the agency if US sanctions are not lifted.
