Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Iran’s cooperation with the agency is not optional but a legal requirement.

Speaking on French channel France 2, Grossi commented on the recent clashes triggered by Israel’s attacks on Iran. He stressed his belief in diplomatic solutions and reminded that, under international law, attacks on nuclear facilities are prohibited.

Grossi said, “Iran’s cooperation with us is not a favour. As a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it is a legal obligation for Iran.”

He noted the recent conflict caused serious damage to Iran’s nuclear sites. “Whether Iran will resume its nuclear activities depends on their decisions. Will they continue from where they left off, or reduce their activities?” Grossi added.
