The criticism of the IAEA director general is part of the same broader diplomatic and strategic posturing occurring during the Geneva negotiations."
"The Iranian mission's criticism of the IAEA reflects the same hardline diplomatic stance and rejection of external oversight/pressure that is evident in the Iranian official's outline of conditions for US engagement. Both represent Iran's diplomatic resistance to Western-led frameworks."
