Iran's Enriched Uranium Still Buried Under Rubble, Says U.N. Atomic Watchdog Chief
Most of Iran's stockpile of highly-enriched uranium remains buried under tons of rubble at sites that were bombed in Israeli and U.S. airstrikes during June's 12-day war, according to the head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog group.
The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog group announced today that the majority of Iran's highly-enriched uranium stockpile is still buried beneath piles of rubble from air attacks carried out during June's conflict. The sites targeted by Israeli and U.S. airstrikes remain inaccessible, hindering efforts to assess the extent of the damage and implications for Iran's nuclear capabilities.
This revelation raises concerns about the potential consequences of the uranium being inaccessible and the challenges it poses for international monitoring efforts. The ongoing situation underscores the delicate balance in the region and the complex dynamics surrounding nuclear non-proliferation.
Despite calls for transparency and cooperation from Iran, the situation remains at a standstill as the international community waits for further developments in this critical issue.
