Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei attacked the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, stating that he "betrayed the Non-Proliferation Treaty and turned the IAEA into a partner in an unjust and violent war by Israel." According to him, "misleading narratives have bad consequences. You have turned the IAEA into a convenient tool for countries that are not members of the NPT treaty to deprive its members of their basic rights."
