Iran Accuses IAEA of Complicity in US-Israeli Strikes

Iran is accusing the International Atomic Energy Agency of "clear complicity" for remaining silent on recent US-Israeli strikes against its nuclear facilities. Iran's nuclear agency claims these attacks, which targeted sites under international oversight, undermine global trust in the IAEA. They describe the agency’s inaction as "historic negligence" that erodes its credibility. Spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi emphasizes that strikes on protected facilities amount to a "war crime" due to the serious humanitarian risks involved. Recent reports confirm that the Khondab Heavy Water Plant is now severely damaged and non-operational, following a strike on March 27. This follows previous attacks during a conflict last June, raising concerns about the safety of these facilities and the potential for catastrophic radioactive leaks. Human rights organizations warn that such actions threaten global security, with consequences that could extend far beyond Iran's borders. This situation matters because the safety of nuclear facilities is crucial for regional and global stability.
