UN nuclear watchdog says it's unable to implement its monitoring responsibilities in Iran
The agency said it has not been able to verify 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity, a level that could fuel 10 bombs.
- On Thursday, The International Atomic Energy Agency reported it remains unable to inspect nuclear facilities in Iran damaged by war last June, according to a confidential report circulated to member states.
- The IAEA warned it is "unable to discharge its safeguards responsibilities" under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, adding that it is "indispensable and urgent" for Tehran to implement its obligations under the Safeguards Agreement.
- Rafael Grossi warned Iran maintains a stockpile of 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60% purity, a technical step from weapons-grade 90% levels, though he noted this does not mean Iran has a weapon.
- Tensions flared in the Middle East as Iranian drones damaged a Kuwait passenger terminal on Wednesday, killing one person, while Bushehr remains the only nuclear facility inspected in Iran since February.
- Rafael Grossi reiterated his "full support to the negotiations underway aimed at finding a mutually acceptable solution to issues related to Iran," even as the country maintains its hold on the Strait of Hormuz.
