As President Donald Trump considers engaging in Israel’s mission to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the head of the world’s primary nuclear organization informs Fox News that there is no evidence suggesting that Iran’s leaders are in a rush to create a nuclear bomb.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi stated, “We have confirmed that Iran does have, even now, enough material for several warheads.
“However, this should not be equated with a nuclear weapon,” Grossi continued, adding, “At this moment, if you ask me, we do not possess any concrete evidence that there is a program or a plan to construct or produce a nuclear weapon.”
However, despite the IAEA reprimand, and the current fighting, Grossi insists a diplomatic solution remains a viable option.
“I believe that there is a way to take this danger — or this concern — out of the table in a negotiated way.
“I’ve been in conversations, very good conversations, with [President Trump’s envoy] Steve Witkoff and with the Iranians as well,” Grossi said.

“I believe there are ways in which we can make sure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon. I think this is ultimately what Israel wants and what the United States has declared.
“We are the international corps of inspectors, and we know what you would need to check in order to prevent this from happening.
“We believe that the opportunity should be seized, as President Trump said, but of course the space for that is narrowing.”
