The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said that Israel may attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. Besides, he also expressed concern due to fear of attack. Reuters reported this information in a report on Tuesday.

Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said that Iran had shut down its nuclear facilities on Sunday due to security concerns due to the fear of Israel’s counterattack. However, even if it is open again from Monday, the inspectors are in fear of attack.

We are going to resume the visit tomorrow, he told reporters in New York. This did not affect our inspection activity.

However, when asked about the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, he said, “We are always concerned about this possibility.” At this time, he urged everyone to exercise restraint.

Incidentally, the IAEA regularly inspects Iran’s major nuclear facilities. Iran says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful, but Western powers have accused Tehran of trying to build a nuclear bomb.

It should be noted that in response to the recent attack on the consulate of Tehran in the capital of Syria, Iran carried out this attack with more than three hundred missiles and drones late on Saturday night. Although Israel claims that most drones and missiles have been destroyed before they reach Israeli territory, there is widespread concern that tensions could escalate further.
