IAEA Chief Highlights Concerns Over Iran's Enriched Uranium at Isfahan Site
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has raised concerns about Iran's enriched uranium, which is believed to be stored at the Isfahan nuclear complex. Rafael Grossi, the IAEA director-general, stated that satellite images indicate the presence of highly enriched uranium at the site, which was previously targeted by airstrikes. The IAEA has been unable to inspect the site since the conflict, and Grossi emphasized the need for inspections at all of Iran's nuclear facilities, including Natanz and Fordo. Iran, a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, is required to allow such inspections. The IAEA estimates that Iran possesses 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60% purity, a short step from weapons-grade levels. Discussions have been held with Russia and others about potentially removing the uranium from Iran, a move that would require significant political or military action.
