IAEA says unable to verify status of Iran's nuclear facilities
The International Atomic Energy Agency reports it has not received recent information from Iran and inspectors have been denied access to nuclear sites.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported that it cannot verify the location or status of Iran's stockpile of nearly bomb-grade uranium due to Iran blocking international inspectors from accessing its nuclear facilities. This issue is a matter of proliferation concern, according to IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, who emphasized the urgent need for Iran to allow inspectors back into its facilities.
The report comes as the US has launched a new series of strikes against targets in Iran, intensifying tensions as both nations vie for control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has led to a significant reduction in IAEA inspections of Iran's nuclear sites, with monitoring activities only resuming at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in mid-September.
