Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson: The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency turned an agency that should have relied on expertise, impartiality, and independence to become a link in a chain: turning technical reports into political rhetoric, and then leading political rhetoric to war. As the International Atomic Energy Agency report becomes raw material for rendering threatening narratives and constructing political and legal charges against a country, the line between technical surveillance and paving the way for military aggression becomes dangerously blurred. It's not just about the damage to the reputation of the agency and its Director General. The Agency's most valuable asset — its credibility as an impartial, independent authority — is being consumed. Once credibility is subordinated to a political agenda, the institution risks being reduced to a tool to rationalize and promote acts of aggression.
