Iran nuclear program relatively unchanged since start of war: IAEA
The watchdog said Iran still has not accounted for stockpiles of enriched uranium after months of U.S.-Israeli strikes.
- On Thursday, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported no major changes to Iran's nuclear program while warning it cannot verify enriched uranium stockpiles following recent U.S.-Israeli strikes.
- Inspectors have lacked access to nuclear sites including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan since U.S. and Israeli forces bombed them last June, prompting The Agency to warn of critical loss of "continuity of knowledge" regarding materials.
- Iran has not updated the IAEA on its stocks of low- and highly enriched uranium , including material enriched to up to 60 percent purity—a short step from the roughly 90 percent required for weapons-grade material.
- Both sides reached a tentative agreement to extend the fragile ceasefire by 60 days, establishing a framework to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and expand negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
- President Donald Trump stated Iran has "agreed" not to develop nuclear weapons, though Vice President Vance noted negotiators are "going back and forth" on terms while Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism.
