Iran hasn’t tried to repair nuclear facilities damaged in US strikes, UN nuclear chief says
Rafael Grossi said inspectors have not confirmed Iran’s 440.9 kilograms of near-weapons-grade uranium and still lack access to damaged sites.
- IAEA chief Rafael Grossi urged Iran during a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday to grant immediate access to nuclear facilities so the agency can verify the Islamic republic's nuclear materials.
- Last month, the IAEA board referred Iran to the UN Security Council for the first time in 20 years after Britain, France, Germany, and the United States submitted a resolution citing failures to comply with nuclear reporting obligations.
- Before the June 2025 strikes, the IAEA calculated Iran possessed approximately 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent, which is well above the 3.67-percent limit and approaches the 90 percent needed for nuclear weapons.
- Iran's UN representative Amir Saeid Iravani denounced the meeting as a 'double standard,' criticizing the Security Council's 'silence' regarding US-Israeli strikes, though China and Russia hold veto power over any sanctions.
- President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to renew strikes against Iran, potentially after next week's midterm elections, questioning in a Sunday Fox News interview whether to 'finish them off' or pursue a deal.
