Iran: IAEA Report Provides Pretext for Israel's Attacks, Official Claims

Iran's Bekayi blamed the IAEA for Israel's attacks on Iran, stating that the organization's report is providing a pretext for Israel's actions. Bekayi emphasized Israel's desire to impose an 'endless war' on the region and criticized IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi's statement that the ongoing military tensions between Israel and Iran are hindering diplomatic efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Israel carried out extensive attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and top military commanders on June 13, resulting in casualties. In retaliation, Iran's ballistic missile strike on Israel reportedly caused casualties as well.
