TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragut said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) must take a clear stance regarding the military threat to Iran’s nuclear facilities by the Donald Trump administration.
Aragucci was in demand as IAEA Director Rafael Grossi called him on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the latest status of cooperation between Iran and the United Nations Nuclear Watch.
During the conversation, Foreign Minister Araguchi explained to Grossi about the latest developments and diplomatic talks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
Emphasizing Iran’s policy of involvement and cooperation with the IAEA, he said, “The IAEA must adopt a clear stance on the threat to Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities.”
Given the persistence of these threats, the foreign minister emphasized that Iran will take all the necessary steps to protect its nuclear program.
President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened Iran with bombings and secondary tariffs if Iran had not reached an agreement with his administration on a nuclear program.
“If they don’t make a deal, there’s going to be a bombing,” Trump said in a call with NBC News.
