Araghchi: Repeating the Threat of Force Against Iran Will Only Lead to Another Failure

Tehran - BORNA - Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, speaking to reporters in response to Grossi’s comments yesterday concerning Iran’s nuclear file, said: "I don't know whether he made this comment out of concern or as a threat."

Grossi had previously stated: "Currently, Tehran only accepts our inspectors in a limited way. The country has imposed restrictions on inspections due to security concerns. The Iranians are hesitant, which I understand. But if diplomacy fails, I fear force will be used again."

Araghchi further added: "However, those who issue such threats should know that repeating a failed experience will yield nothing but failure for them once again."

Rafael Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, had made these remarks on Wednesday during an interview with a Swiss newspaper about the situation surrounding Iran's nuclear program.
