Ali Larijani, Senior Political Advisor to Sayyed Khamenei, vowed, “We will subject IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to accountability after the war ends.”
His comments follow earlier remarks by the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, who sharply criticized IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, accusing him of fueling a Western-led campaign of aggression through “biased” nuclear oversight.
Baghaei asserted that Grossi’s reports were weaponized by the E3 and the US to justify an illegal act of war by a “genocidal, warmongering regime.”
Larijani also stated that “the sixth round of talks was supposed to take place, but Trump pulled a trick in coordination with Israel,” affirming that while Tehran does not seek war, the country is facing a critical moment that demands firmness and resilience.
He called for resistance against external aggression, stating, “We must resist, confront the aggressors, and punish them.”
