Iran nuclear program relatively unchanged since start of war: IAEA
Inspectors say Iran has not updated the fate of its enriched uranium stockpile, raising proliferation concerns after strikes halted access to key sites.
- 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.

IAEA Warns Iran Nuclear Risk Has Increased
The possibility of Iran developing a nuclear weapon is now higher than it was before the United States and Israel first attacked the country in February, the International Atomic Energy Agency has concluded in a report. The conclusion suggests the war has so far resulted in the opposite of what President Trump set out to do, namely, prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Bloomberg cited the report, which has restricted access, saying tha…
