Damning IAEA report spells out past secret nuclear activities in Iran
- On May 31, the International Atomic Energy Agency, headquartered in Vienna, released a confidential report outlining Iran's previously undisclosed nuclear activities and detailing its uranium reserves as of May 17.
- This report was commissioned by the IAEA's 35-nation Board of Governors amid stalled nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington mediated by Oman.
- The report found uranium traces at undeclared sites linked to a structured nuclear program until the early 2000s and showed Iran's uranium enriched up to 60% has nearly doubled since February.
- As of May 17, Iran held 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, a 133.8-kilogram increase since February, enough material for up to nine nuclear weapons if further enriched, the IAEA said.
- The IAEA urged Iran to fully cooperate and change course, while European nations may consider further steps that could escalate tensions with the West.

Vienna. Iran carried out secret nuclear activities with undeclared material to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a nuclear control body of the United Nations (UN), according to a confidential report of the agency, addressed to the member states, to which Reuters had access. Tehran rejected the document that it described as “political and unbalanced”, and warned that it would take “appropriate measures”.
The United Nations nuclear entity issued a report stating that it cannot guarantee that the material will be used for peaceful purposes
