US EditionNo war can destroy Iran's nuclear ambitions, IAEA director says
IAEA Director Rafael Grossi said Iran's enriched uranium near 60% purity and hidden stockpiles remain intact despite strikes, requiring inspectors to verify damage on site.
- IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi warned Thursday that "a lot has survived" of Iran's nuclear capabilities, stating military operations alone cannot destroy the country's nuclear ambitions.
- President Donald Trump's Operation Epic Fury targets Iranian nuclear sites, though Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard claimed the program was "obliterated" last year during Operation Midnight Hammer.
- Iran's inventory of uranium enriched at 60% remains a major issue, and Grossi emphasized that reconstruction of damaged facilities is "very possible" due to Iran's retained technical knowledge.
- Both Israel and the U.S. have considered using special forces to retrieve enriched uranium, though Grossi described the potential operation as "very challenging" due to handling and transfer difficulties.
- Former national security adviser John Bolton emphasized the operation "would not be a success under any circumstances" without securing nuclear material, while Grossi noted diplomacy remains essential after combat ends.
