Iran's enriched uranium likely at Isfahan, IAEA discusses extraction with Russia, US - report

The Jerusalem Post reports on the ongoing concerns surrounding Iran's nuclear program, citing IAEA chief Rafael Grossi's assessment that the majority of Iran's enriched uranium is likely still housed at the Isfahan nuclear complex. This complex has been previously targeted in military operations. Grossi's statements, based on satellite imagery and available intelligence, indicate that while the IAEA continues to observe the sites, direct inspection and verification remain challenging due to Iran's non-compliance with full transparency requirements under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The report highlights the complex international diplomacy at play, noting Russia's offer to help manage Iran's enriched uranium. This proposal, discussed with the US, underscores the geopolitical sensitivities surrounding Iran's nuclear activities and the broader regional security landscape. For Israel, as for the international community, Iran's nuclear capabilities remain a critical issue, and the IAEA's role in monitoring and verifying its program is paramount, despite the obstacles.

We haven’t been able to inspect or to reject that the material is there and that the seals, the IAEA seals, remain there. I hope that we’ll be able to do that, so what I tell you is our best estimate.
