UN watchdog: Iran nuclear program ‘suffered enormous damage’
IRAN, JUN 26 – International Atomic Energy Agency reports major damage to Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, setting back Iran's nuclear capabilities by years, officials said.
In Vienna last Thursday, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said Iran's nuclear program suffered 'enormous damage' from recent US and Israeli strikes.
Years of preparation since 2009 led to the development of the GB-U57 bomb, culminating in the 2025 strikes that inflicted enormous damage on Iran's nuclear sites.
Satellite images from June 24 show fresh craters at Fordow; CIA confirmed severe damage will take years to rebuild.
Iran’s parliament approved suspending IAEA cooperation, the bill became law after Guardian Council sign-off, and Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf pledged to accelerate Iran’s civilian nuclear programme.
Grossi emphasized resuming inspections is a priority, warning Iran that refusal could trigger consequences and deepen the crisis.
The head of Iranian diplomacy Abbas Araghchi blames the boss of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi for not condemning Israeli and American strikes against nuclear installations.
