Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister: The International Atomic Energy Agency is exploiting the aftermath of US and Israeli strikes on nuclear sites to create "ambiguity" about its program.

- Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should avoid turning technical reports into "tools of political pressure" if it wants to contribute to a diplomatic solution.

He added that the agency's loss of ability to monitor some facilities resulted from the attacks and not from Iran's lack of cooperation, and accused the agency of exploiting the aftermath of the US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to create "ambiguity" about Tehran's nuclear program.
