Geneva: Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations office in Geneva has issued a stern warning to the UN nuclear watchdog about potential military actions against the country’s nuclear facilities. The mission cautioned that any renewed military aggression would have significant consequences for the global non-proliferation regime.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the mission addressed a letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, expressing concerns that normalizing such threats undermines the agency’s credibility and erodes international confidence in its verification work. This communication was shared on the social media platform X, following a statement by US President Donald Trump.

The letter was prompted by President Trump’s recent comments threatening military action against Iran’s nuclear and military sites. During a public appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump remarked, “Now I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are, we’re going to have to knock them down.”

Iran has also accused the IAEA of being complicit in what it describes as a US-Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities in June. Tehran criticized the agency for a “politically motivated” report preceding the aggression and for its failure to condemn the subsequent strike. The Iranian mission emphasized in its letter that such actions must be condemned and those responsible held accountable.
