IAEA Complicit

It said the attacks are taking place amid“indifference and even the complicity” of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

It added”“The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the evil conspiracies of its enemies, with the efforts of thousands of its revolutionary and motivated scientists and experts, it will not allow the development path of this national industry, which is the result of the blood of nuclear martyrs, to be stopped.”
