IAEA Engages in Talks with Russia and US on Iran's Enriched Uranium Extraction

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is actively discussing the extraction of Iran's enriched uranium with Russia and the United States.

Satellite imagery has shown containers suspected to hold highly enriched uranium entering the facility, but the IAEA has not been able to inspect the site due to ongoing conflicts. Grossi emphasized that the IAEA's assessments are based on satellite data and are not definitive, as Iran has not allowed inspections despite obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
