Iraqi Parliament: Iran's response to Israel was a legal right

The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency emphasized that there is no evidence of the construction of nuclear weapons in Iran and added that the recent tensions have not hindered the monitoring activities of this organization regarding Iran's nuclear program.

According to CNN, Raphael Grossi, who traveled to New York, told reporters: Our inspectors in Iran were informed yesterday by the government of this country that all the nuclear centers that we inspect every day are closed for security reasons. These centers were opened today to continue inspections, but I have decided that our inspectors will not return until the situation calms down; So we will resume our work tomorrow. He said that the recent tensions did not affect the activities of the agency and added:

We are in Iran and continue our work. In response to a question about new developments in Iran's nuclear program, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency repeated some political claims and said: Iran has enriched uranium reserves to a very high level. This in itself does not mean that Iran has nuclear weapons. He added: We have no information or indication that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. Grossi expressed the hope that within the next few weeks he will go to Tehran.
