After another failed attempt by IAEA chief Rafael Grossi to resolve outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program, Tehran’s continued belligerence has caused concern among western officials.

Chief U.S. negotiator Robert Malley: If Iran “doesn’t want to get back into the deal… we’ll have to respond accordingly.”

U.S. CENTCOM chief Kenneth McKenzie: “They’re very close this time. I think they like the idea of being able to breakout.”

British PM Boris Johnson: the world “does not have enough time” to stop Iran’s nuclear program.

Joint statement by France, Germany, and UK: “Iran has continued its systematic nuclear escalation, thereby permanently and irreversibly upgrading its nuclear capabilities and exposing the international community to significant risk.”
