International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi stated on Saturday that "Israel" had conducted a strike on a centrifuge manufacturing workshop in Isfahan, which represents the third attack on an Iranian nuclear-linked facility in the past week, as confirmed by the IAEA on Sunday.

"A centrifuge manufacturing workshop has been hit in Isfahan, the third such facility that has been targeted in Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear-related sites over the past week," Grossi said in an official IAEA statement.

The facility "Israel" attacked, which produced equipment essential for uranium enrichment, had previously been subject to IAEA monitoring and verification measures, including the use of installed cameras, as part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

"We know this facility well. There was no nuclear material at this site, and therefore, the attack on it will have no radiological consequences," Grossi stated.

This latest strike follows "Israel's" recent attacks on a Tehran research center involved in the production and testing of advanced centrifuge rotors, as well as a facility in Karaj dedicated to manufacturing other critical centrifuge components.

Grossi's announcement comes shortly after Iran announced it will file a complaint against the IAEA chief, citing breaches of neutrality due to his remarks that preceded the Israeli attacks on Iran.

Iran files complaint against IAEA chief

On June 20, Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, strongly criticized Rafael Grossi's public statements made just before "Israel" attacked Iran, arguing that the IAEA Director General's remarks represented a clear breach of the neutrality expected from someone in his position.

While IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi publicly stated that "nuclear sites must never be attacked," his conspicuous failure to explicitly condemn "Israel's" strike on Iran's nuclear facility has drawn sharp criticism from Tehran, which interprets this selective silence as an implicit endorsement of the aggression.

In a strongly-worded letter to the UN Security Council, Iran's Permanent Representative Amir Saeid Iravani formally protested against IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi's actions, expressing grave concerns about what Tehran views as both a serious failure to uphold his professional obligations and a clear neglect of his statutory duties under the IAEA's governing framework.

The Iranian diplomat emphasized that Grossi's failure extended beyond refusing to denounce the attacks on safeguarded nuclear facilities, highlighting his additional disregard for Israel's public admissions of responsibility for these ongoing military actions.
