UN Watchdog Says 'Bombs Alone' Won't Resolve Middle East Conflict; US & Iran Must Negotiate

Описание: The United Nations nuclear watchdog said military action alone won’t be able to resolve ambiguity over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. 

“At some point, this will come to an end,” International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. “When that happens, you will still have a question mark. We will have to go back to the negotiating table.”

With the IAEA’s board meeting this week in Vienna, Grossi said earlier in the day he was frustrated by the collapse of diplomacy with Iran. He’d met with envoys from Iran and the US the week before in an effort to avert military action. 

The career diplomat from Argentina reiterated that the majority of airstrikes over the last three days didn’t concentrate on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Satellite images reviewed by the IAEA indicate that only Iran’s uranium-enrichment site in Natanz showed indications of new damage, Grossi said.

Listen to Grossi speak to Bloomberg TV's Katie Greifeld, as heard live on Bloomberg TV and Radio.
