The IAEA estimates that a significant portion of Iran’s highly enriched uranium remains stored at the Isfahan nuclear facility, despite damage from recent U.S.-Israeli airstrikes. IAEA also emphasizes the need for inspections at Natanz and Fordo nuclear facilities and plans to continue monitoring Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. has stated that Iran’s nuclear program is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.
Grossi stated that a large portion of Iran’s highly enriched uranium is likely still stored at the Isfahan nuclear complex. The IAEA seeks inspections of Natanz and Fordow facilities, and discussions are underway regarding transferring enriched uranium abroad with Russia and other countries. Grossi has not yet condemned the US and Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Rafael Grossi, IAEA Director General, claims a significant portion of Iran’s high-enriched uranium is likely hidden in tunnels at the Isfahan nuclear complex following recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes. The IAEA is seeking access to verify the location of the uranium stockpile amid ongoing tensions and stalled negotiations. Reopening facilities and strengthening IAEA inspections are crucial for potential nuclear talks.
