Iran has the capacity to start re-enriching uranium again – for a possible bomb – in “few months,” said the UN nuclear guard head.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said US attacks on three Iranian places The past weekend caused serious, but “not overall” damage, opposing that Donald Trump claimed that Iranian nuclear facilities were “totally removed”.
“Honestly, it can’t be argued that everything is gone and there is nothing there,” Grussi said on Saturday.
Israel is 13. June attacked nuclear and military locations in Iran, arguing that Iran is close to the construction of nuclear weapons. The United States later joined the strike, threw bombs in Iranian three nuclear plants: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
Since then, the true volume of damage was not vague.
On Saturday, Grussi told CBS News, the US Media Partner, that Tehran could have “a few months … several cascaders of centrifuge yarns and products enriched uranium”.
He added that Iran still owns “industrial and technological capacities … so if they want them, they will be able to restart this again.”
Iaea is not the first body that would suggest that the nuclear abilities of Iran can continue – earlier this week, Pentagon Intelligence Assessment They found that American kicks set only a program by months.
Trump furtively reminded the proclaim that the Iran’s nuclear website was “completely destroyed” and accused media “attempts to share at the most successful military strikes in history”.
For now, Iran and Israel agreed to truce.
But Trump said “Absolutely” would reconsider the bombing of Iran If intelligence has discovered that it could enrich uranium in connection with levels.
On the other hand, Iran sent conflicting messages about how badly damaged was caused.
In speech on Thursday, the Supreme Leader Iran Ajatollah, but Khamenei said that strikes had achieved anything significant. However, his Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said “excessive serious” damage was done.
Iran is an already stressed relationship with IAE further caused on Wednesday, when her parliament moved to suspend co-operation with atomic butt, accusing American salts with Israel and US.
The two countries attacked Iran after UN body last month He found Tehran to be in violation Her intolerated obligations for the first time in 20 years.
Iran insists that its nuclear program is quiet and only for civilian use.
Despite Iranian rejection to work with his organization, Grossi said he hoped to be able to negotiate with Teheran.
“I have to sit with Iran and look at it, because at the end of the day, all this will have to have a long-term solution, which cannot be diplomatically,” he said.
Under 2015 Nuclear contract with world powers, Iran is not allowed to enrich uranium above 3.67% of purity – level required for commercial nuclear power plants – and was not allowed to perform any enrichment in its vegetable factory in 15 years.
However, Trump left the agreement during his first term in 2018. years, saying it was folded to stop the road to the bomb and returned to us sanctions.
Iran has moved more and more violations – especially those related to enrichment. August continued to enrichment in Ford 2021. years and sufficiently became enough of 60% of the undihad uranium to potentially made nine nuclear bombs, in accordance with IAEA.
