Iran has the capacity to start enriching Uranus again – for a possible bomb – for a “question of months,” said the UN nuclear guard leader.
Rafael Grossi, Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said US ENDERATION ON THREE Iranian Sites Last weekend, it caused severe but “not full” damage that contradicts Donald Trump's claim that Iran's nuclear facilities were “completely deleted”.
“Honestly, it cannot be argued that everything is gone and there is nothing there,” Grossi said on Saturday.
Israel attacked nuclear and military sites in Iran on June 13, claiming that Iran was close to the construction of nuclear weapons. Later, the United States joined the strikes by launching bombs on Iran's three nuclear facilities: Fordo, Nathan and Isfahan.
Since then, the true degree of damage has been unclear.
On Saturday, Grossi told CBS News, the US media partner of the BBC that Tehran may have “in a few months … a few cascades of centrifuges that rotate and produce an enriched uranium.”
He added that Iran still owns “industrial and technological capacity … So if they wish, they will be able to start doing so again.”
Mae is not the first organ to suggest that Iran's nuclear capabilities can still continue – earlier this week, Pentagon intelligence assessment They found that US strikes returned the program for months.
Trump replied furiously, saying that Iran's nuclear sites had been “completely destroyed” and accused the media of “an attempt to humiliate one of the most successful military strikes in history.”
So far, Iran and Israel have agreed to end the fire.
But Trump said He would “absolutely” think again to bomb Iran If intelligence finds that this can enrich Uranus about levels.
Iran, on the other hand, sent conflicting messages of how much damage was caused.
In a speech on Thursday, Iran's high leader Ayatola Ali Hamenei said the strikes had not achieved anything significant. However, her Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said that “excessive and serious” damage had been inflicted.
Iranian already intense relations with the IAEA were further challenged on Wednesday when his parliament moved to stop cooperation with the nuclear guard, accusing the IAE of having occurred with Israel and the United States.
The two countries attacked Iran after the UN body last month found that Tehran was in violation of his non -proliferation duties for the first time in 20 years.
Iran insists that his nuclear program is calm, but only for civil use.
Despite the Iranian refusal to work with his organization, Grossi said he hoped he could still negotiate with Tehran.
“I have to sit down with Iran and look at this, because at the end of the day, all this thing, after the military strikes, will have to have a lasting solution that can not only be diplomatic,” he said.
According to the 2015 nuclear transaction with the world forces, Iran was not allowed to enrich uranium over 3.67% cleanliness – the level needed for commercial nuclear power plants – and was not allowed to enrich the Fordo factory for 15 years.
However, Trump gave up the agreement during his first term in 2018, saying he did too little to stop a bomb and restore US sanctions.
Iran revenge, increasingly violating restrictions – especially those related to enrichment. He resumed the enrichment in Ford in 2021 and accumulated enough 60%uranium to make a potentially nine nuclear bombs, according to the IAAE.
