The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has criticized comments by Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), claiming they are politically biased against Iran. The AEOI emphasized the need for the IAEA’s director general to remain impartial and professional, stating that Grossi’s recent remarks threaten the agency’s integrity. In a speech in Tokyo, Grossi insisted that Iran must prove it isn’t pursuing nuclear weapons, while the AEOI countered that accusers should provide evidence. Iran maintains its nuclear activities are peaceful and remains opposed to negotiating under pressure following the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
Recent discussions on U.S.-Iran relations have highlighted psychological warfare, with former Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi criticizing the U.S. for creating confusion through mixed messages. He argues this approach fosters a misleading policy of ‘either war or negotiation.’ Kharazi remains skeptical of American intentions, viewing recent overtures as coercive rather than sincere attempts to improve relations, particularly following Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal. He emphasizes that Iranians will not yield to intimidation but may consider indirect negotiations. Ayatollah Khamenei has ruled out direct talks under pressure, underscoring the need for trust and honest dialogue in future interactions.
Iranian officials recently addressed the complexities of diplomatic negotiations with the U.S., coining the term “armed negotiation” to describe the current geopolitical tensions. During the conference “International Law Under Assault” in Tehran, Deputy Foreign Minister Khatibzadeh criticized the U.S. for its lack of genuine willingness for constructive dialogue, emphasizing Iran’s commitment to national interests and readiness to respond to threats. He noted the impact of U.S. military actions on negotiations, while also highlighting the need for fair dialogue. This comes amid increased tensions following Israel’s unprovoked attacks on Iran and subsequent U.S. airstrikes, leading to significant casualties and conflict escalation.

Discussions included opportunities for collaboration in various sectors such as trade, industry, and education.
