IAEA increasingly concerned about Iranian enrichment plant, its report says

The watchdog said it cannot verify the plant’s location or uranium stockpile, raising urgent proliferation concerns after months without access.

  • On Friday, Nov 13, the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a confidential report stating it is "increasingly concerned" about an Iranian uranium-enrichment plant in Isfahan that remains uninspected since its declaration last year.
  • Iran declared the Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant to the agency on June 12, 2025, but the facility has remained inaccessible since a 12-day bombing campaign by Israel and the United States destroyed nearby enrichment sites.
  • The Agency stated it lacks knowledge of the plant's exact location or status, warning that its inability to verify nuclear material at the site poses a "serious proliferation concern" needing "utmost urgency."
  • IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi has previously warned that Iran maintains a stockpile of 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60 per cent, material requiring monthly verification under agency guidelines.
  • Tehran maintains that the inspection stalemate will not resolve until the "root causes of the present situation are addressed" and essential requirements for normal safeguards implementation are restored, the report added.
