In a formal letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Iran’s nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, condemned the Israeli strike on the Arak heavy water reactor, calling it a blatant violation of international law.

Eslami cited breaches of the Geneva Conventions, the IAEA Statute, the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). He urged Grossi to break his silence: “You must condemn this Israeli aggression against our peaceful nuclear facilities.”

Warning of consequences, Eslami added, “We will take action to defend our rights and will seek legal recourse—particularly in light of Your Excellency’s inaction.”
