Grossi assessed the proximity of a nuclear catastrophe in connection with the conflict in the Middle East

After the outbreak of the military conflict in the Middle East, the world witnessed the beginning of another clash, in which the nuclear factor played an important role. On March 12, the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, answered a question from a correspondent of Izvestia, Maxim Prikhoda, who asked him to assess the proximity of a nuclear catastrophe on the planet.

"I think it's obvious to all of us that until we can find a reasonable settlement, we will always be teetering on the edge between war and peace. Yes, of course, there is a war going on now. It continues," he said.
