Iran’s highly enriched uranium likely is still at the Isfahan site, UN nuclear chief tells AP
Rafael Grossi said satellite images indicate about 200 kilograms of the stockpile may still be in tunnels at the site.
- On Tuesday, International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi stated that a large percentage of Iran's highly enriched uranium likely remains stored in tunnels at the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center, where it has been since the June 2025 war.
- Satellite images from Airbus confirm a truck moved 18 blue containers into the Isfahan site on June 9, 2025, just before the war, with the agency estimating roughly 200 kilograms of Iran's 440.9 kilograms of enriched uranium held there.
- This stockpile could allow Iran to build as many as 10 nuclear bombs should it decide to weaponize its program, though the country insists its nuclear activities are peaceful and compliant with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
- IAEA inspections at the site ended last year, and Grossi noted that addressing the program requires "political will" from Tehran, as current efforts to reach agreement have stalled without alignment on priorities.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Channel this week that preventing a nuclear weapon "remains the core issue" that must be confronted, while Iran seeks to end the U.S.-led blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
