In an address to the IAEA Board of Governors on 23 June, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, said: “We are meeting today in the midst of a serious conflict, involving three IAEA Member States, during which Iran’s nuclear sites are coming under attack.

Israel and Iran continue to exchange fire, just days after the United States entered the war by bombing three key nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday. President Trump ordered the attack on the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan facilities without seeking congressional approval,

The future of Iran’s nuclear program will depend in part on the extent of the damage from the U.S. attacks and Tehran’s negotiating position in the coming days.
