Iran Dismisses IAEA chief’s Remarks as “Psychological Warfare”

⁣ Updated June 10, 2025

Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization head, Mohammad Eslami, has strongly refuted recent statements made by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi, labeling them as “psychological warfare” and politically motivated amid ⁢ongoing concerns about Iran’s nuclear ⁤program.Eslami’s comments, broadcast on Iran’s IRIB state TV, follow Grossi’s warning that an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities⁢ could perhaps push Tehran toward developing nuclear weapons.

Eslami accused Grossi of echoing a long-standing campaign of psychological operations against Iran. He further⁣ claimed that international organizations⁢ are being manipulated by dominant powers under Israeli influence. Despite international scrutiny, Eslami insisted that Iran’s nuclear activities remain peaceful and fully compliant ⁢with international⁢ regulations, ⁤emphasizing the country’s commitment ⁢to nuclear non-proliferation.

The ⁤exchange highlights the ‍delicate balance and heightened⁣ tensions surrounding iran’s nuclear ambitions and the potential ⁣for ⁣regional⁤ conflict. Iran’s nuclear program remains a contentious issue, with world powers seeking assurances that it ⁢will not be used for ‍military purposes. The situation is further intricate by the ongoing geopolitical‍ tensions in the middle East.

⁤ ⁤ “Grossi has revealed himself as part of the long-standing campaign of psychological operations against Iran,” Eslami said.

eslami firmly denied any intention to develop‍ nuclear ⁢weapons, stating⁢ that no Iranian official has ever suggested building a⁢ bomb in response to an attack. He reiterated that‍ Iran’s nuclear activities are transparent and⁤ subject to IAEA safeguards, dismissing Grossi’s warnings as inflammatory and unfounded. ‍The denial comes⁣ as Iran seeks to reassure the international community about⁣ its nuclear intentions amid increasing pressure.

What’s next

The IAEA is expected ⁣to continue monitoring Iran’s nuclear facilities,while diplomatic efforts to revive ⁤the Iran nuclear deal remain uncertain.Further statements and actions from both sides will likely influence ‍the trajectory of the situation.
