Israeli attack could drive Iran to seek nuclear weapons, IAEA chief warns
- On June 9, 2025, IAEA Director Rafael Grossi cautioned that an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities might increase Tehran’s resolve to pursue nuclear weapons, amid ongoing Oman-facilitated negotiations.
- Grossi said Iranian officials cautioned him that such an attack might harden Iran's nuclear resolve or lead it to leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
- Iranian spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei criticized a recent U.S. offer as lacking sanctions relief and announced Iran will submit a counter-proposal via Oman this week.
- Last week, U.S. President Trump cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu against taking actions that could interfere with ongoing discussions, emphasizing that such moves would be ill-timed as a resolution is nearly within reach.
- These warnings highlight high diplomatic risks as Tehran and Washington try to revive the 2015 nuclear deal amid deep mistrust and regional tensions without imminent Israeli attack expected.
