Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke by phone with European Council President Antonio Costa, telling him that "continued cooperation with the IAEA depends on correcting its double standards regarding the Iranian nuclear issue." According to him, "any additional attack against Iran will be met with a more decisive and painful response." Meanwhile, the channel "Iran International," associated with the opposition to the ayatollah regime, reported that a caricature of IAEA chief Rafael Grossi was shown on Iranian television, during which he was called a "traitor" and that they would "deal with him."
