Israel has argued that this gave the Israeli Air Force greater legitimacy than ever to strike Iran\u2019s nuclear program. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/tags\/israel-katz\">Defense Minister Israel Katz<\/a> on Monday said that this legitimacy and ability are greater now than they have ever been.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<p>Grossi made the comments at a news conference with the head of Iran\u2019s Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami. He said that \u201ctangible, visible results\u201d in talks with Tehran were vital to avoiding a war.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<p>The IAEA chief also met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian for the first time since he was elected in July. Pezeshkian told Grossi that Tehran was prepared to cooperate with the agency to clear up \u201calleged ambiguities\u201d about Tehran\u2019s nuclear work, according to state media.<\/p>\n<section class=\"fake-br-for-article-body\"\/>\n<figure class=\"article-image-in-body\"><figcaption class=\"article-image-caption article-image-credit\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"> An Iranian missile is displayed during a rally marking the annual Quds Day, or Jerusalem Day, on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan in Tehran, Iran April 29, 2022.
