The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) revealed to Sputnik that its Director General, Rafael Grossi, will visit Iran from May 6-7 and convene with high-ranking Iranian officials.

"We can confirm that Director General Grossi will be in Iran on 6-7 May for meetings with senior Iranian officials," the IAEA said.

This confirms an earlier announcement made by the Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, back in November that Grossi may visit Iran soon, most likely during Iran's first International Nuclear Conference next month.

"We have invited 130 of the world’s prominent nuclear researchers to the event, and more than 30 percent of them have announced their readiness to attend it," Eslami said at the time.

In response, Grossi said a trip to Tehran in attendance of the conference is on his agenda. Eslami affirmed, "Iran's interactions with the IAEA continue as normal and discussions are held to resolve ambiguities and develop cooperation."

IAEA fails to investigate Israeli nuclear threat

Iran and the IAEA have been at odds because of the latter's anti-Iran bias. In November, Eslami held the IAEA responsible for any threat due to the Israeli occupation's refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and provide assurances.

Eslami pointed out that "Israel" poses a global nuclear threat, pointing out that Iran has called on the IAEA "to investigate Israeli nuclear threats against us and Palestine and to put an end to them."

He reiterated the blame on the UN nuclear watchdog for any potential incident, stating that it "has not taken any stance regarding "Tel Aviv's non-adherence to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty."

Israeli "Heritage" Minister Amihai Eliyahu has also made it clear that nuking the Gaza Strip is on the table in light of the ongoing aggression on the Palestinian people.

The Israeli minister was asked in an interview with Radio Kol Barama whether an atomic bomb should be dropped on Gaza, to which he replied by saying it was "one of the possibilities."
