IRAN HOLDING UN ATOMIC AGENCY ‘HOSTAGE,’ REFUSING TO COOPERATE, DIRECTOR SAYS


IAEA HEAD RAFAEL GROSSI SHARES CONCERNS AT DAVOS OVER ‘FRUSTRATING’ LACK OF
OVERSIGHT GRANTED BY TEHRAN, AS WELL AS INABILITY TO VISIT RUSSIAN-CONTROLLED
ZAPORIZHZHIA NUCLEAR PLANT

DAVOS, Switzerland (AFP) — Iran is barely cooperating with the International
Atomic Energy Agency, which feels it is being held “hostage” to the country’s
disputes with Western countries, IAEA director general Rafael Grossi told AFP on
Thursday.

Grossi also said the situation at the Ukrainian nuclear power plant of
Zaporizhzhia was “extremely worrying,” even if there are no signs the plant has
become a military installation.

The UN agency, based in Vienna, has been struggling since 2021 to carry out
controls on Iran’s nuclear program, which continues to expand even as Tehran
denies it wants to make nuclear weapons.




“It’s a very frustrating situation. We continue our activities there, but at a
minimum,” Grossi said in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“They are restricting cooperation in a very unprecedented way.”

He cited as an example Iran’s rejection of inspectors because of their
nationalities.

“It’s a way to punish us because of external things,” he said. “When there’s
something that France, the UK or the United States says that they don’t like, it
is as if they were taking the IAEA hostage to their political disputes with
others. This is unacceptable for us.”


‘DIPLOMACY, DIPLOMACY, DIPLOMACY’

Iran last year slowed down its pace of uranium enrichment, which was seen as a
goodwill gesture while informal talks began with the United States. But it
accelerated enrichment once again in late 2023.

“There is a plateau at the moment, but it could change in the next few days,”
Grossi said. “We never know.”

The already poor relations between Washington and Tehran have worsened with the
war between Israel and Hamas, with each nation accusing the other of inflaming
the situation, further complicating efforts to rein in Iran’s nuclear program

“Diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy, this is what we need. We need to continue
talking, we need to prevent the situation deteriorating to a degree where it
would be impossible to retrieve it.”

“I would not exclude returning to Iran,” Grossi added.


‘NO MILITARIZATION’ OF ZAPORIZHZHIA

IAEA inspectors have also been blocked by Russia from visiting the Zaporizhzhia
nuclear plant, which has been occupied by Russian forces since March 2022, soon
after the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The plant is within a combat zone, which makes it structurally unstable, and
Grossi said his inspectors needed to be granted access.

Borodulin/AFP)

“We have been able to confirm that there is no militarization of the plant, in
the sense of having heavy military equipment or artillery equipment there,” he
said. “And in the past few months, there haven’t been any direct attacks on the
plant.”

On the other hand, “we’ve had problems in terms of blackouts, and interruption
of external power supply, which are equally dangerous because if we lose power,
we lose the capacity to cool the reactors and of course, there could be an
accident.”



Bridging the US-Israel divide

While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of
Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power. 

As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United
States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship
beyond the platitudes evident in public statements. 

I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to
be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's
entire, complex story. 

Your support through The Times of Israel Community helps us continue to keep
readers around the world properly informed about the critical Israel-US
relationship. Do you appreciate our news coverage? If so, please join the ToI
Community today.
