Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, announced in an interview with Christiane Amanpour of CNN that the agency has so far found no evidence of a systematic and organized effort by Iran to build nuclear weapons.
Responding to speculation about the time it will take for Iran to achieve the capability to build nuclear weapons, he said: "It is certainly not a matter of tomorrow, but it may not be a matter of a few years. Of course, these are just speculations, and for this reason I emphasize that we really do not know."
Grossi added: “If there is activity that is being carried out covertly and out of the reach of our inspectors, we have no way of knowing about it. But what we have reported so far is that we have not seen evidence of a systematic move towards the production of nuclear weapons.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran has always emphasized that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and is being pursued within the framework of the regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that the production or acquisition of nuclear weapons has no place in the defense doctrine of the Islamic Republic, and the Supreme Leader of the Revolution has also declared the use of weapons of mass destruction “forbidden” in a fatwa.
However, the Zionist regime has repeatedly accused Iran of trying to acquire nuclear weapons and in recent years, citing these allegations, has carried out sabotage and military operations against Iranian nuclear facilities and scientists, and in recent days has violated the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the pretext of destroying Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
