IAEA Director Grossi Stresses Need for Verification in US-Iran Nuclear Deal
Rafael Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), emphasized the necessity of IAEA involvement in any nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran. Grossi warned that without verification, any deal would be merely an illusion. He highlighted the IAEA's unique capability to ensure impartiality and verify compliance with nuclear agreements. Grossi expressed concerns over the potential for a nuclear arms race, noting that several countries, including Poland, South Korea, and Japan, are considering nuclear armament due to global instability. He stressed the importance of Article 6 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which calls for nuclear disarmament, though he acknowledged the current geopolitical climate makes this challenging.
