Iran Criticizes UN Action After Nuclear Facility Attacks

Iran's atomic energy chief, Mohammad Eslami, expressed strong criticism against the UN nuclear watchdog in a recent letter to its director. He argued that the agency's inaction in response to repeated attacks on nuclear facilities, such as Iran's Bushehr power plant, is fostering aggression.

Eslami highlighted that the Bushehr plant, Iran's sole operational nuclear facility, has been targeted four times, with the latest strike occurring on April 4. This attack resulted in the death of a security staff member and injuries to others in the vicinity.

Eslami cautioned that continued attacks risk releasing radioactive material, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences for the local population, environment, and neighboring nations. He deemed these acts a violation of international law and criticized the IAEA's lack of decisive action.
