Iran's Nuclear Stockpile Under Mystery
The International Atomic Energy Agency's report concluded that the status of Iran's nuclear program remains unclear, as Iran continues to prevent inspectors from accessing the affected facilities, hindering the verification of its enriched uranium stockpile approaching weapons-grade levels. Iran possesses approximately 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, close to the enrichment level needed for weapon production, along with 8,599.6 kilograms of lower-enriched uranium. However, the agency is currently unable to determine the quantities or locations of these materials. Additionally, inspections have been reduced by more than half in 2025 due to Iranian restrictions following attacks on nuclear facilities, and Iran still refuses to permit inspectors to visit the main impacted sites. Military and diplomatic tensions between the United States and Iran are escalating, with diplomatic efforts to restart nuclear negotiations failing. The report is expected to be discussed by the IAEA Board of Governors or the UN Security Council, amid the risk of vetoes by Russia or China that could block extending sanctions monitoring on Iran.
