The latest leak warrants immediate and severe condemnation from the UN Security Council and IAEA.' According to him, he sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, calling 'to prevent continued threats, which if not stopped - will force us to take special measures to protect our nuclear facilities and materials.
