Damning IAEA report spells out past secret nuclear activities in Iran
- The International Atomic Energy Agency released a detailed report on May 31 assessing Iran's nuclear program, including past undeclared nuclear materials and recent uranium enrichment.
- The report follows years of IAEA investigations triggered by uranium traces found at multiple undeclared sites, amid ongoing but paused nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington.
- The IAEA identified uranium stored at three sites until the early 2000s connected to undeclared activities and noted Iran’s uranium enriched up to 60% nearly doubled since February 2025.
- As of May 17, Iran held 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60%, an increase of 133.8 kilograms since February, with 42 kilograms sufficient for one bomb if further enriched, according to IAEA data.
- The report raises serious concerns internationally and may trigger further European action, while Iran denies wrongdoing and insists its nuclear program remains peaceful and requires sanction relief.
