IAEA raises alarm over Iran’s nuclear program as tanker hits mine in Strait of Hormuz

According to Ynet, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated in its latest report that it cannot verify Iran's enriched uranium stockpile or inspect newly declared nuclear facilities due to Tehran's lack of cooperation. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi warned that the lack of access since June 2025 has undermined international oversight of Iran's nuclear activities. The agency also expressed growing concern over the lack of information regarding the Isfahan enrichment plant declared in June 2025. Separately, Iran's Revolutionary Guard navy reported that a liquefied gas tanker struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz. This incident follows reports of multiple attacks on commercial vessels in the strategic waterway, raising further concerns about maritime security.
