BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 29. Iran’s demand to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Director General, Rafael Grossi, remains in force, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmael Bagaei said at a press conference in Tehran, Trend reports.
He emphasized that the IAEA Director General must take decisive actions in fulfilling the agency’s duties, including condemning the attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States, to prevent further escalations.
