Grossi Warned Trump

A deal with Iran without the IAEA is only an illusion.

Any nuclear deal between the US and Iran will become an "illusion" unless international inspectors are brought into the process. Without strict oversight, Tehran's promises carry no weight.

That's what Charter97.org reports, citing IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi's interview with The Telegraph.

Peace agreements on paper do not guarantee security, Grossi said. Only his agency can provide an objective picture of what is happening at closed Iranian facilities.

"Without verification, any deal is not a deal. It is an illusion of a deal or a promise whose fulfillment is unknown," the IAEA chief explained.

Grossi emphasized that the IAEA knows every nuclear facility in Iran perfectly and this allows for complete impartiality. If the parties try to negotiate behind the scenes, the world will not get real guarantees. Grossi doubts that any mechanism other than IAEA inspections will be able to confirm compliance.

Trump's plan and threats of military invasion

The IAEA director general also criticized the possibility of taking enriched uranium from Iran by force. Grossi admits: the U.S. Army has the resources to do so, but physically removing the fuel is technical hell.

Military operation carries enormous challenges. One must not just enter a facility, but safely manipulate dangerous substances.

The main problems of a force scenario according to Grossi:

complex logistics: manipulating and moving radioactive materials is extremely delicate;

structural damage: buildings become unstable after bombings, blocking access to storage facilities;

proliferation risks: any mistake during an attack could trigger a disaster.

"Nuclear dominoes": who's next in line for the bomb

The IAEA's biggest fear is a nuclear domino race. Countries are increasingly thinking about their own "nuclear shield," which could lead to a dangerous era of fragmentation.

Grossi identified a number of states where discussions about their own weapons are already underway:

Poland, South Korea and Japan (actively discussing development);

Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Sweden (considering the possibility).

"There is talk of 'proliferation friendly'. All of this is of concern to me because I believe that a world with 20 or more nuclear-weapon states would be extremely dangerous," the IAEA director said.
