Iran demands IAEA response after nuclear site strikes

Iran is calling on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to urgently respond and has requested an emergency meeting of its Board of Governors following US airstrikes on nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

“We urge the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session to unequivocally condemn this criminal act of aggression by the United States against Iran and to hold the United States accountable for its egregious violation of the fundamental principles of United Nations Charter and of the norms of international law,” Caliber.Az reports, citing the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s message on X.

“The responsibility of the IAEA and its Director General—who, through evident bias in favor of warmongering parties, paved the way for this recent catastrophe—is now clearer than ever. We call on the IAEA Board of Governors to immediately convene and carry out its legal responsibility in response to this dangerous U.S. attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, all of which have been under the Agency’s full safeguards and monitoring,” the ministry wrote.

Multiple reports have recently surfaced claiming that the US carried out airstrikes on three of Iran’s nuclear sites, including the heavily fortified Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, as well as facilities in Natanz and Isfahan. US President Donald Trump described the mission as a “very successful attack” intended to severely damage Iran’s nuclear capabilities, asserting that the targeted locations were “completely and fully obliterated.” The operation is said to have involved US warplanes and was reportedly coordinated with Israel, which had launched earlier strikes to degrade Iran’s air defenses ahead of the American assault.
