Iran said Sunday it posed no threat to the head of the UN nuclear watchdog and its inspectors after an Iranian newspaper called for the execution of the International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi.
“No, there is not any threat” against the inspectors or the director general, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, said in an interview with US broadcaster CBS when asked about calls in an ultra-conservative newspaper for the agency’s chief to be executed as a spy. The ambassador said inspectors in Iran were “in safe conditions”.
