IAEA Chief: Iran Could Produce Enriched Uranium in Months
Despite recent attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi believes Iran could resume enriched uranium production within months. Following US and Israeli strikes on key sites, the extent of the damage is unknown, and the whereabouts of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile remains uncertain. Grossi has been denied access to the damaged sites, as Iranian lawmakers suspended cooperation with the IAEA. Though the US government supports the IAEA’s efforts, there is conflicting information regarding whether or not the uranium stockpile was moved.
