Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months: IAEA chief
Briefly

Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, has expressed serious concerns about Iran's stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, which is dangerously close to weapons-grade levels. He stated that, despite military strikes from the US and Israel targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure, Iran may be able to restart uranium enrichment within months. Grossi called for clarity on the status of Iran's stockpile, noting that it could theoretically allow the nation to create over nine nuclear bombs. Additionally, the Iranian government is limiting IAEA cooperation following the attacks.
Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the IAEA, warned that Iran's stockpile of 60% enriched uranium poses a significant risk, potentially yielding over nine nuclear bombs if further refined.
Grossi emphasized the need for the IAEA to clarify if Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was moved or partially destroyed during recent US and Israeli attacks.
Despite attacks on its nuclear sites, Grossi noted that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months due to remaining operational facilities.
Iranian lawmakers' response to the assaults included suspending IAEA cooperation and rejecting inspections, which raises concerns over transparency in their nuclear program.
