IAEA chief rebuffs Trump, says no evidence Iran is building nuclear weapons

In a significant admission that contradicts the assertions of the Israeli regime and US officials, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has confirmed that there is no evidence Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

Speaking to CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, Grossi acknowledged what Iran has repeatedly stated and the UN nuclear agency has also confirmed in its reports.

“What we reported was that we did not have any proof of a systematic effort [by Iran] to move toward a nuclear weapon,” the director general of the IAEA was quoted as saying.
