\u201cOur relations with [the IAEA] are established, but it has an unfulfilled task regarding a military attack on facilities under safeguards supervision that it cannot escape from,\u201d Eslami was quoted by ISNA as saying. \u201cIf we are under the supervision of the Agency and have a certificate of accreditation… it cannot remain silent about what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, IAEA inspectors are currently supervising other nuclear facilities across Iran as indirect talks with the United States<\/a> resumed on Friday in Oman, he said.<\/p>\n \u201cFor the centers that were not attacked, inspectors came and visited within the framework of continuous interaction and permission… and after the war, inspections were conducted [in] the centers that were not damaged, and they are currently visiting some other centers.\u201d<\/p>\n In November, the IAEA reiterated that Tehran still has not let inspectors into the nuclear sites bombed in June, adding that accounting for Iran’s enriched uranium stock<\/a>\u00a0is \u201clong overdue.\u201d<\/p>\n The IAEA\u2019s own guidelines stipulate that it should verify a country\u2019s stock of highly enriched uranium, such as the material enriched to up to 60% purity in the Islamic Republic, a short step from the roughly 90% of weapons-grade, every month.<\/p>\n The IAEA has been calling on Iran for months to say what happened to the stock and let inspections fully resume quickly. The two sides announced an agreement in Cairo in September that was supposed to pave the way for a full resumption, but progress has been limited, and Tehran later said that the agreement is void.<\/p>\n In a report, the IAEA reiterated that the quantity of highly enriched uranium Iran has produced and accumulated is \u201ca matter of serious concern.\u201d The agency has lost so-called continuity of knowledge of Iran\u2019s enriched uranium stocks, it added, meaning re-establishing a full picture will be long and difficult.<\/p>\nA man crosses the street, past a billboard showing Iranian centrifuges and nuclear scientists killed in Israeli strikes, in Tehran, Iran, August 29, 2025 (credit: MAJID ASGARIPOUR\/WANA (WEST ASIA NEWS AGENCY) VIA REUTERS)IAEA lost knowledge of Iran’s enriched uranium stocks<\/strong><\/p>\n
