UN watchdog 'increasingly concerned' over Iran nuclear site
Summary
The International Atomic Energy Agency says it is increasingly concerned about an Iranian uranium enrichment facility near Isfahan that it has not inspected. Iran has also restricted inspectors’ access to nuclear sites since the June 2025 attacks, leaving the agency unable to verify the country’s enriched uranium stockpile.Key Facts
- Iran notified the IAEA of plans for the Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant on 12 June 2025.
- Israel began attacking Iranian nuclear sites the day after Iran announced the facility, and the United States joined the strikes later that month.
- The IAEA says it does not know the facility’s exact location or whether it contains nuclear material.
- The IAEA says damage from the strikes was extensive at the Isfahan complex, especially above-ground, while the condition of underground facilities remains unclear.
- Before the June 2025 strikes, Iran had an estimated 441kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity.
- A 2015 nuclear deal set limits of 300kg for Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and 3.67% for enrichment; Iran later exceeded both limits.
- Iran says its nuclear programme serves peaceful civilian purposes and denies seeking nuclear weapons.
