The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), under the United Nations, demanded that Iran's regime urgently restore cooperation with international inspectors. The agency recalled that nuclear monitoring has remained suspended since the attacks by the United States and Israel during the so-called "12-day war" last June.
According to the agency's latest technical report, seven of the country's twenty most important nuclear facilities were damaged, and since then inspectors have not been able to access the necessary information about nuclear material, especially uranium enriched to 60%.
Grossi: "It is urgent to restore verification of Iranian uranium"
The director general of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, warned that "it is urgent to restore knowledge about nuclear inventories" and called on Tehran to grant immediate access to international experts. According to the report, the lack of verification since mid-June constitutes a "cause for serious concern" and could imply a violation of the Safeguards Agreement of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
At the start of the conflict, Iran possessed 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60%, an increase of more than 30 kilograms (66 pounds) in just one month. The absence of control over this material raised alarms among Western powers, which for years have suspected that the regime could allocate part of its nuclear program to military purposes.
