Rafael Mariano Grossi addressed journalists in Austria following a briefing in the government in Vienna.
Israel began to launch air and missile air strikes against Iranian military and nuclear sites almost two weeks ago, and the United States made surprise bombing on three Iranian uranium installations last weekend.

However, the extent of damage to Uranium stocks enriched with Iran remains uncertain.
Iran says that the protective measures taken
After the initial attacks, Iran informed the Aiea It would take “special measures” to protect its nuclear materials and equipment.
Grosi told journalists that he had received a letter from the Iranian Foreign Minister who said protective measures had been taken.
“They did not enter into the details of what it meant, but it was clear that it was the implicit meaning of this. So we can imagine that this material is there, “he said. To confirm this and assess the situation, “we have to come back,” he added.
Vital inspections
On Wednesday, the Iranian Parliament approved a bill to suspend cooperation with the IAEA, according to the media, which must be approved by the executive power of the government.
Grosi said he wrote to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Arabhchi on Tuesday to ask him to come together to “analyze the terms” so that the inspections continue.
He stressed that the international community “cannot afford” so that the inspection regime is interrupted.
The head of the IAEA was also questioned on the plans of Iran to withdraw from TThe Non-Proliferation Treaty (TNP)A key international agreement to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
This decision would be “very regrettable,” he said. “I hope this is not the case. I don’t think it would help anyone, starting with Iran. This would lead to isolation, all kinds of problems. ”
