Iran exposes cooperation with IAEA - danger at nuclear escalation!

Something is brewing in Iran: The government plans to temporarily suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This decision flew through the news landscape like a flash today. However, the decision of the parliament in Tehran still needs the approval of two decisive committees - the Iranian security council, which is led by religious leader Ajatollah Ali Chamenei, and the guardian council. Until then, the IAEA inspectors are still in the country, but a clear change of course is in sight. Parliament President Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf has also requested a conviction of the attacks by the United States and Israel to Iranian nuclear systems. 

It is obvious that the Iranian government sends a clear message: No IAEA inspectors should be let into the country, as long as the “security” of the nuclear systems is not guaranteed. This justifies the distrust that Iran has against the international community, and at the same time increases the concerns about the development of its nuclear ability. Iran has now enriched more than 400 kilograms of uranium with a purity level of 60 percent, a limit that could potentially be used for the construction of nuclear weapons. Here Tehran questions his intention to respect the international rules for the spread of nuclear weapons.

The role of IAEA and international concerns

The IAEA, an organization with around 180 member states, has been inviting you to reluctance for some time. IAEA boss Rafael Grossi warns: Iran's nuclear facilities must not be the goal of military attacks. Currently, the IAEA has found that Tehran does not comply with its obligations within the framework of the nuclear weapon blocking contract. In the past three years, IAEA's inspectors have increasingly difficulty complying with their regular tasks. The concerns and voices from the international community are increasing, especially in view of the military activities of Israelis, which are tested by the wafer -thin patience.

Israel flew an attack on several Iranian destinations on Friday night, including Natan's nuclear facility. The Israeli government justifies this action with the claim that Iran is about to create an nuclear -armed infrastructure. Secret service reports are underpinning these worries, which are shared by numerous experts - they are convinced that Iran is able to produce highly enriched uranium that is necessary to produce nuclear weapons. Here is the question: How long can the international community still watch?

escalation in the Middle East

The situation in the Middle East is tense, and a Middle East conflict is certainly not easier. US President Donald Trump relies on a return of Iran to the negotiating table, while Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu repeatedly strikes sharp tones against the Iranian regime. Some wonders whether this military intervention is not only a temporary solution, but also carries the risk of greater escalation. Rumors about possible military reactions by proiran militias keep the situation on alert, so that the "network of representative militias" in the region could become active at any time.

In this explosive mixture, the IAEA remains dependent on close cooperation with Iran. The future of the nuclear program is full of uncertainties and the world watches a spellbound while Iran explores its position and the international community has to rethink its strategy.
