International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi said Iranians warned him that an Israel strike on the country's nuclear facilities could cause Iran to be more determined about developing a nuclear weapon,

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says that information Iran claims to have obtained regarding Israel's nuclear program "seems to refer" to the country's Soreq Nuclear Research Center.

The announcement comes as Iran prepares to face fresh diplomatic pressure from the International Atomic Energy Agency, with Western nations expected to propose a motion finding Tehran in noncompliance with nuclear obligations.
