The E3 countries condemned threats against the head of the UN nuclear watchdog and urged Iran to ensure the safety of IAEA staff and uphold international obligations.
France, Germany, and the UK issued a joint statement on Monday condemning threats made against Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and reiterated their strong support for the IAEA’s independent work.
The E3 countries emphasized their backing for the agency's impartial role in monitoring nuclear activities and called on Iran to uphold its obligations under international law. They urged Tehran to resume full cooperation with the IAEA and take steps to ensure the safety of its personnel.
The French Foreign Ministry also condemned the threats against Grossi and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the IAEA’s mission. It expressed grave concern over any actions that could undermine Iran’s cooperation with the UN watchdog and urged Iran to meet its international commitments, particularly under the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement.
France further stressed the importance of a "robust, lasting and verifiable negotiated solution" to address concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
The statements came after recent tensions, including US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Iran's refusal to allow Grossi to enter the country, alongside the Iranian parliament passing a bill to halt cooperation with the IAEA.
