European Powers Decry Threats Against IAEA Chief Amid Rising Nuclear Tensions

Britain, France, and Germany have jointly condemned what they described as threats against Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), following inflammatory rhetoric in Iranian media. The condemnation comes after Iran’s hardline Kayhan newspaper accused Grossi of espionage and called for his execution, a move that has sparked international concern.

In a unified statement, the three European nations reaffirmed their support for the IAEA and urged Iran to ensure the safety of its personnel. They also called on Tehran to resume full cooperation with the agency, in line with its obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The situation underscores the fragile state of nuclear diplomacy in the region, with European leaders pressing for de-escalation and renewed dialogue.
