🔶 IAEA warning about the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation in Iran

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in a confidential report that it has increased its concern about underground uranium-enrichment facilities in Isfahan. Iran announced the existence of these facilities last year, but so far has not allowed inspections of them.

According to Reuters, the International Atomic Energy Agency has warned that the absence of information about Iran’s nuclear materials and the lack of access to the facilities to verify them have created “serious concern from the standpoint of nuclear weapons proliferation,” and that this situation must be addressed as soon as possible.

The concerns have been raised while a senior Iranian official told Reuters in September that Tehran would not show any flexibility in its nuclear program even if the United States agreed to the proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has also recently said that if fighting resumes, the issue of continuing the longstanding ban on the development of nuclear weapons in Iran will be reviewed, but that no decision has yet been made to change this policy.
