Iran accuses IAEA of collusion in Israeli aggression

Iran said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) became complicit in what it called Israel’s “aggressive war,” as missile strikes between the two nations continued for a seventh day.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani wrote on X one June 19, addressing IAEA chief Rafael Grossi: “You've made IAEA a partner to this unjust war of aggression."

The IAEA had earlier accused Iran of failing to meet its nuclear commitments in a report released shortly before the conflict began, according to AFP.

The comments come amid rising Tehran-Tel Aviv tensions, fueling regional and global fears of a wider conflict.
