In a statement, the AEOI condemned the attack as a “barbaric act” in violation of international law and reiterated that preliminary assessments showed no radiological or chemical contamination had spread beyond the site. The extent of infrastructural damage is still under investigation.

The organization also criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Director General Rafael Grossi, accusing them of silence and partiality in the face of repeated Israeli threats and now a direct strike. The statement adds the IAEA’s credibility is “seriously compromised” and its neutrality “eroded.”

The AEOI emphasized that despite pressure and military aggression, Iran’s nuclear program will proceed with “renewed determination,” and that its scientists remain committed to the country’s peaceful nuclear goals.

In an official letter to the president of the UN Security Council on June 13, the Iranian mission called for an emergency UNSC meeting in response to the Israeli regime’s brazen act of aggression against Iran.

Condemning the Israeli strikes on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities and senior military officials that have been carried out with the support of the US, the UN mission requested a decisive action by the UNSC in response to the Israeli regime’s criminal and provocative attacks.

In a reckless and illegal action that had been planned in advance, the Israeli regime has carried out a series of coordinated military strikes on Iran’s nuclear centers and civilian infrastructures, the mission said in the letter.

Iran’s mission also denounced the Israeli attack as a clear violation of the UN Charter and the fundamental principles of the international law, warning that its dangerous consequences jeopardize regional and international peace and security.

Iran atomic chief: Advanced centrifuges ready to start enrichment in new site

Eslami confirmed that the new site has already been constructed and is located in a secure, impenetrable location. Installation of advanced centrifuges—replacing previously decommissioned first-generation machines—will begin immediately, with enrichment operations to commence as soon as setup is underway.
The site is designed to be immune from potential sabotage or attack.

He emphasized that Iran had promptly notified the IAEA following the resolution’s adoption and would proceed in line with national interests.
The move, he asserted, reflects Iran’s refusal to remain passive while the U.S. and three European powers (UK, France, Germany), under alleged Zionist influence, manipulate the IAEA for political leverage.

Eslami also criticized Western media—specifically Reuters—for distorting facts about Iran’s nuclear commitments.
He reiterated that Iran cannot be expected to uphold its JCPOA obligations unilaterally while the other parties continue to violate theirs by maintaining and expanding sanctions.
