From UN atomic czar rejects Netanyahu claim IDF hit nuclear facility at Parchin
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUN atomic watchdog chief Rafael Grossi says there is no indication that an Israeli strike on Iran’s Parchin military complex last month hit a nuclear facility or that there was any nuclear material present.
On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the strike had hit “a specific component in their nuclear program.”
Speaking to reporters in Vienna, Grossi also praises Iran’s “concrete step” on agreeing to cap its stockpile of highly enriched uranium after Tehran implemented preparatory steps to stop adding to its supply.
“I think this is… a concrete step in the right direction — we have a fact which has been verified by us,” Grossi says.
Iran has indicated that it could scrap the limit if the IAEA goes ahead with plans to pass a resolution censuring Tehran over its poor cooperation with inspectors.
