Iran warns Europe against exploiting the Atomic Energy Agency report for political purposes and threatens to retaliate.

Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, confirmed today, Sunday, June 1, that his country will take "appropriate" responses if European countries exploit the International Atomic Energy Agency's report for political purposes.

The warning came during a phone call with the agency's Director-General, Rafael Grossi, as reported by the official IRNA news agency.

Araghchi emphasized that "Iran will respond appropriately to any inappropriate moves by European parties," referring to Britain, France, and Germany, which had previously warned of re-imposing sanctions if Iran's nuclear program posed a threat to European security.

The minister also urged the atomic agency not to allow "certain parties" to use its report to achieve "political objectives" against Tehran.

Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry described the agency's report, issued on Saturday, May 31, as "political and unbalanced," while Western countries and Israel continue to accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran denies, stating that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.

In this context, Grossi expressed concern over Iran's increasing stockpile of 50%-enriched uranium in the past three months, warning that Tehran has enough highly enriched uranium to make 10 nuclear bombs if it chooses to do so.

Grossi also pointed out that the agency "is not in a position to guarantee the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program."

This escalation comes ahead of an anticipated sixth round of negotiations between the United States and Iran to resolve disputes over the nuclear program, with no announcement yet regarding the date or location of the talks.

President Donald Trump reiterated on Friday that Iran "cannot have a nuclear weapon," expressing optimism about reaching an agreement between the two countries.
