IAEA loses track of Iran's enriched uranium: report

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says it has not been able to verify the status of Iran’s high-level enriched uranium stockpile since US-Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities during the 12-day war in June.

An IAEA report circulated to member states and obtained by the Associated Press on Wednesday said that the situation regarding the highly enriched material “needs urgently to be addressed,” underscoring growing concerns about the lack of on-site verification since the attacks that targeted Iran’s Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites.

According to the agency’s last published assessment in September, Iran possessed 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60% purity—just a short technical step from the 90% threshold required for weapons-grade material.

In an interview with the Associated Press at the UN headquarters in New York, Grossi said that while Iran does not appear to be actively enriching uranium, recent movement has been detected around nuclear sites via satellite monitoring.
