Overview
- IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said the agency’s best estimate is that most of Iran’s highly enriched uranium remains at the Isfahan complex.
- Inspections at the site stopped after a 12-day war last year, leaving the agency unable to verify the stock or check its seals.
- Airbus satellite images showed a truck hauling 18 blue containers into an Isfahan tunnel before the fighting, which the agency believes held the material.
- Iran’s declared stockpile stands at 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60% purity, with about 200 kilograms believed to be in the Isfahan tunnels.
- The agency is exploring removal abroad or dilution to lower purity, a complex option discussed with Russia that would require a political agreement.
