Rubio Condemns Iran’s Threats Against IAEA Chief
- On June 30, 2025, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom condemned threats against IAEA chief Rafael Grossi amid tensions over Iran's nuclear program.
- The condemnation followed Israel's June 13 strikes on Iran's nuclear sites after the IAEA board declared Iran in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty on June 12.
- Iran declined the IAEA's request to inspect its damaged nuclear facilities, citing concerns over the safety of inspectors following recent attacks during the conflict that concluded with a ceasefire earlier this month.
- IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said on Saturday that Iran is expected to restart uranium enrichment within a few months, even though its nuclear facilities have suffered damage.
- The situation reflects ongoing regional tensions and international demands for Iran to promptly re-engage fully with the IAEA and to guarantee the protection of its staff amid persistent security concerns.
