Iran Denies Threat to IAEA Head, Amidst Escalating Tensions
Tehran – June 30, 2025 – Iran has publicly denied any threat to the head of the International Atomic energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, and its inspectors currently operating within the country. This comes in response to a call for Grossi’s execution published in a conservative Iranian newspaper,as reported by AFP [[source document]].
Iranian Ambassador to the UN, Amír Said Iraváni, stated to CBS News that inspectors and Grossi have “nothing to fear” and are “safe” within Iran [[source document]].
This reassurance follows a period of heightened tensions between Tehran and the IAEA. Earlier this week, the Iranian parliament approved legislation suspending cooperation with the IAEA, citing the agency’s failure to condemn alleged Israeli and American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities [[source document]]. The state Iranian Organization for Nuclear Energy (AEOI) is now reportedly suspending cooperation with the IAEA as a result.

Moreover, as April 2024, over 700 missiles and hundreds of drones have been launched from Iran, allegedly targeting civilian populations and even a regional hospital [[3]].SEO Keywords: Iran, IAEA, Rafael Grossi, Nuclear Agency, Tensions, Israel, attack, Nuclear Facilities, UN, Amir said Iravani, CBS news, Iranian Parliament, AEOI, Middle East, International Relations, Nuclear Threat.
