The director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency has demanded that Iran reveal the quantity and location of its remaining enriched uranium, according to Iranian media reports. The demand comes as the IAEA Board of Governors recently passed a resolution on Iranian nuclear transparency, and follows weeks of uncertainty over the status of Iran's nuclear program after military strikes on its facilities.
IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi has called on Iran to disclose the volume and location of its remaining enriched uranium stockpile, a demand that goes to the heart of international efforts to verify the status of Iran's nuclear program after military strikes on its facilities. The request, reported by Iranian media on June 10, follows a resolution passed by the IAEA Board of Governors on the same day demanding that Iran disclose the locations of its enriched uranium and grant inspectors access. As The Zioneer previously reported, a U.S.-circulated draft resolution from June 7 had already demanded Iran provide 'accurate information' on its bombed nuclear sites and remaining stockpiles. The IAEA chief's direct demand represents the highest-profile international pressure on Tehran to account for its nuclear material since the strikes. Iran has not yet publicly responded to Grossi's specific request, but its UN mission previously stated that conditions for renewing IAEA inspections can only be created after tensions subside and the 'war ends.'
