IAEA Report: Loss of Oversight Over Iran’s Uranium Stockpiles

In an 11-page report distributed to member states, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has warned of a critical loss of oversight regarding Iran's nuclear activities. According to the report, no routine verification activities have been conducted in Iran since the end of February, and IAEA inspectors are currently denied access to 21 nuclear sites, including key facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed concern over this "unprecedented" information gap and called for urgent access to these facilities. Based on the last verified data from mid-June 2025, Iran held over 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent. However, the agency stated it currently has no information regarding the current status of these stockpiles, their storage locations, or the ongoing activity of centrifuges. Furthermore, while Iran has announced the construction of a new enrichment facility near Isfahan, the IAEA noted that it does not have the precise location of this site. Despite these findings, the report emphasizes that satellite imagery does not currently show evidence of a resumption of large-scale enrichment activities or the assembly of a nuclear explosive device. The report comes ahead of next week's IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna.
