Rafael Mariano Grossi, director of the IAEA, warns that Iran could resume uranium enrichment shortly after U.S. military strikes on its nuclear facilities. Although U.S. officials claim significant damage occurred, preliminary reports indicate limited setbacks to Iran's nuclear program. Grossi highlighted Iran's remaining capabilities, including knowledge and industrial capacity, which point to the country's sophisticated nuclear technology. The potential relocation of enriched uranium to undisclosed sites further complicates the monitoring and containment of Iran's nuclear ambitions amid escalating tensions following the attacks.
They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that.
Iran had a very vast ambitious program, and part of it may still be there, and if not, there is also the self-evident truth that the knowledge is there.
The U.S. had 'totally obliterated' Iran's three main nuclear facilities, but preliminary reports suggested only 'limited' damage was suffered.
Grossi stated it was possible Iran could have moved canisters of enriched uranium before the attack to a secret offsite location.
