How Israel's Mossad Turned the IAEA around on Iran with Evidence
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Former IAEA director-general Yukiya Amano had signed off in 2015 on the idea that Iran had come clean enough on past "possible military dimensions" of its nuclear program. Then, after the Mossad raided Iran's secret nuclear archives in 2018, it provided the IAEA with volumes of Iranian nuclear documents which proved otherwise. These documents also led to previously unknown nuclear sites in Iran, where the IAEA had no choice but to follow-up. While Amano responded slowly to the new information until his unexpected death in July 2019, the current IAEA director-general, Rafael Grossi, who took over in December 2019, started to confront the Islamic Republic to resolve questions about its undeclared nuclear activities revealed by the Mossad. In June 2020, Grossi got the IAEA Board of Governors to condemn Iran's lack of cooperation - the first such condemnation since before the 2015 deal, and in August 2020, he finally got access to the additional sites.
