Iran’s Nuclear Diplomacy Fails, Middle East Could Fate Like the Korean Peninsula

GENEVA – Head of the atomic supervisory body PBB Rafael Grossi warned that if nuclear diplomacy with Iran ended in failure, Middle East might encounter a scenario similar to North Korea (Jewelry).

Agents of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) were expelled from North Korea in 2009 and now the country is believed to have dozens of nuclear weapons.

“The (North Korea) case should remind us of what might happen if diplomatic efforts go wrong,” said the Director-General IAEA in an interview with NBC News.

“This is a clear example, this is an indication, it is a beacon. If diplomacy fails, you may be faced with a situation that will have enormous political repercussions in the Middle East and beyond,” Grossi added.

According to Grossi, the IAEA’s monitoring program in Iran is no longer intact after Tehran refused to repair cameras at its nuclear facilities. He added that the UN watchdog may not be able to reconstruct the picture of what Iran is doing.

Iran said in September that it refused to give the IAEA access to surveillance cameras at its nuclear facilities.

Grossi also stressed that he had been unable to establish direct communication with the Iranian government since Ebrahim Raisi became president in June.
