Iran Bans IAEA Chief from Entering Country

Israa Farhan Iran has officially barred Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), from entering its territory, in a move that further deepens tensions between Tehran and international nuclear watchdogs. The announcement was made by Hamid Reza Haji Babaei, First Deputy Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Iranian Parliament), during a ceremony commemorating the martyrdom of Chief Justice Mohammad Hossein Beheshti and other judiciary figures killed in 1981. Haji Babaei declared that Grossi would no longer be permitted to visit Iran, claiming that the West's focus on Iran's missile and nuclear programs was merely a pretext. He argued that Iran's geopolitical stance, not its weapons, was the real issue for its adversaries. According to Haji Babaei, some foreign powers believe the only way to undermine a nation with a 7,000-year-old heritage like Iran is by fueling ethnic divisions. He also claimed that Western analysts falsely assumed that 85% of Iranians would support foreign military intervention and rise up against the government if such an attack occurred. 'We will no longer allow Grossi to enter our country,' Haji Babaei stated, alleging that Israel has allocated four buildings specifically for monitoring Iran's activities through Grossi and the IAEA. He added, 'They said if we didn't negotiate, they would strike, and they did. What should we fear? Nothing. Success is on our side.' Earlier, Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee approved draft legislation mandating the suspension of cooperation with the IAEA. The bill reflects growing discontent in Tehran over international oversight of its nuclear activities. Committee spokesperson Ebrahim Rezai confirmed that the proposal was passed during a recent parliamentary session and includes multiple provisions to limit Iran's nuclear transparency. Grossi has visited Iran several times in recent years to negotiate access to nuclear sites and address concerns about uranium enrichment levels. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
