Vienna: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that it is currently unaware of the whereabouts of Iran’s enriched uranium. This revelation has raised significant concerns over the monitoring and regulation of Iran’s nuclear program.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the IAEA, expressed uncertainty regarding the status of Iran’s enriched uranium. Speaking on Saturday, he stated, “We do not know where Iran’s enriched uranium could be now.” Grossi suggested that while some of the enriched uranium may have been destroyed, there remains a possibility that other portions could have been transferred elsewhere.

Grossi elaborated further, highlighting the scope and ambition of Iran’s nuclear program. He noted, “Iran had a broad and ambitious nuclear program, and some of it may still be ongoing.” This remark underscores the complexity and persistence of Iran’s nuclear activities, which continue to be a focal point of international scrutiny.

Moreover, Grossi emphasized Iran’s advancements in nuclear technology, stating that these cannot be easily undone, even with military interventions. “Iran is an advanced state in nuclear technology, and this cannot be erased with or without military operations,” he added. This statement reinforces the notion that any potential military action would not provide a definitive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue.

Grossi concluded by reiterating the necessity for a diplomatic resolution, asserting that military action alone would not resolve the situation. He affirmed, “The Iranian nuclear issue will not be resolved definitively through military action, and we will have to reach an agreement.” This highlights the importance of negotiation and collaboration in addressing the complexities of Iran’s nuclear endeavors.
