The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has said the agency’s inspectors have found no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons, just as the United States and Israel have claimed.
The strike on Iran was a coordinated joint strike launched against it by the United States and Iran, who claimed that Iran was building a nuclear weapon.
The US and Israel have justified their strikes, describing them as “preemptive”. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the attack was carried out to “remove threats”, adding that it was a “proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the state of Israel.”
Grossi, on Tuesday evening, however, disclosed that the IAEA inspectors found no indication that a coordinated Iranian programme to build nuclear weapons was ongoing.

In late February, the Middle Eastern country refused to allow IAEA access to nuclear facilities affected by the 12-day war in June 2025. The IAEA at the time had said it could not “verify whether Iran has suspended all enrichment-related activities,” or the “size of Iran’s uranium stockpile at the affected nuclear facilities.”
Iran has always stated that its program is peaceful, but the IAEA and Western nations say Iran had an organised nuclear weapons program up until 2003.
