International Atomic Energy Authority chief Rafael Grossi expresses concern over Tehran’s threats of shift to deterrence
about abandoning the country’s prohibition on possessing nuclear weapons is very worrying and needs to stop, Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN nuclear inspectorate, has said.
Speaking to the Guardian, Grossi, who is director general of the International Atomic Energy Authority , said the “loose talk about nuclear weapons is extremely serious for me. And I think it should stop. We are moving closer to a situation where there is a big, huge question mark about what they are doing and why they are doing it.”
Europe and the US held off from tabling a censure motion against Iran at the last IAEA meeting in March, but Grossi wants broader systematic access to Iran’s nuclear sites, including an ability to reconstruct what Iran has been doing in the year that his inspectors have been debarred from key sites.last week to discuss improved access, and his officials are now trying to nail down the technical details of what the inspectors can see.
