Iran has the ability to start re -enriching uranium – for a potential bomb – “one thing of months”, the head of the United Nations Atomic Sentinel has said.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Gossi stated that US attacks on three Iranian sites over the last weekend had caused seriousness, but “total” not damaged, denied Donald Trump’s claim that Iran’s nuclear features “were completely ignored”.
“Apparently, no one can claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing.”
Israel attacked nuclear and military sites in Iran on 13 June, claiming that Iran was close to making nuclear weapons.
The US later joined the attacks, dropping bombs on Iran’s three nuclear facilities: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
Since then, the correct limit of damage is not clear.
On Saturday, Gosi told the BBC American media partner CBS News that Tehran “in a few months … can produce some of the casacds of Sentrifuge and rich uranium”.
He said that Iran still has “industrial and technical capabilities … so they will be able to do so again if they want.”
IAEA is not the first body to suggest that Iran’s nuclear capabilities can still continue – earlier this week, A leak initial pentagon assessment It was found that the US strikes are probably set back the program from only months.
However, it is possible that future intelligence reports will include more information to show a different level of damage to features.
Trump announced that Iran’s atomic site “completely destroyed” and “attempted attempts to reduce one of the most successful military strikes in history”.
For now, Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire.
But Trump has said that he would consider bombing Iran again, if Intelligence found that it could enrich uranium.
On the other hand, Iran has sent conflicting messages to how much damage has been done.
In a speech on Thursday, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the strike has not achieved anything important. Its Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, “extreme and serious” damage was done.
Iran’s already stressful relations with IAEA were further challenged on Wednesday, when its Parliament went to suspend cooperation with the nuclear sentinel, alleging IAEA of siding with Israel and America.
On Friday, Argchi said on X that “Grosi’s urge is fruitless when going to the bombing sites on the pretext of security measures and possibly also fatal in intention”.
Last month after IAEA, Israel and the United States attacked Iran, which Tehran was first found in violation of their unreal obligations in 20 years.
Iran says its atomic program is peaceful, and for civil use.
Irani, despite refusing to work with her organization, said that she hopes she could still interact with Tehran.
He said, “I have to sit with Iran and look at it, because at the end of the day, this whole thing, after military attacks, would be a long -lasting solution, which cannot be a diplomat,” he said.
Under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, Iran was not allowed to enrich uranium above 3.67% purity – the required level for fuel for commercial nuclear power plants – and no enhancement was allowed at its Fordo plant for 15 years.
However, Trump left the agreement during his first term in 2018, stating that it was too low to stop a route for a bomb, and restored US sanctions.
Iran retaliated by rapid dissolving restrictions – especially related to promotion. It resumed the enrichment in the Fordo in 2021 and according to the IAEA, collected a 60%-enriched uranium enough to make nine atomic bombs.
