Overview
- Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Larijani said the Cairo cooperation framework with the IAEA is now null and void, though a new proposal from the agency would be reviewed.
- Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed President Trump’s claim that U.S.-Israeli strikes destroyed Iran’s nuclear industry and rejected renewed negotiations he described as coercive.
- IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said about 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium remains at bomb-damaged facilities in Isfahan and Fordow, with some in Natanz.
- The IAEA lacks access to verify the status or location of the material after Iran halted cooperation in response to the E3’s UN snapback move.
- U.S. and Israeli assertions of having “obliterated” Iran’s program are at odds with IAEA findings and leaked U.S. assessments that suggest a setback measured from months to roughly one to two years.
